Eelko Moorer

EelkoMoorer is an artist-designer who creates objects at the intersection ofpersonal experience, making processes, and meaning. His work explores howmaterial, action, and form communicate with one another- between maker,material, and world.

Moorerworks from a material poetics: for him, design is not only function orexpression, but also a language that evokes sensory knowledge. His objectsfunction as physical touchpoints: they bring the personal and the universaltogether and invite a direct, tactile experience. Central tothis is Aisthesis, the first contact: sensation before story.

Bytransforming familiar imagery, techniques, and materials- without fixingmeaning- he questions the particularity of things and the stories we attach toobjects. His work creates space for autonomous interpretation: meaning remainsfluid and is continually remade through looking.

Moorerworks with great attention to detail and craftsmanship. He chooses materialssuch as rubber, wood, metal, and leather not only for their properties, butalso for their emotional and cultural charge. In an immersive, improvisationalprocess, materials act as collaborators, resulting in objects that holdattention, feel intimate, and alive.
