KRJST studio is a Belgian artist duo founded in 2012.The duo began working in the fashion industry for almost 3 years after earning a master’s degree in Cambre Mode. In 2015, they immersed themselves in the art and design sector due to key meetings andthe need to put creativity and art at the center of their practice again as creating woven art pieces, Jaquard and hand embroiderd.
KRJST studio (pc. 2015) has a triangular structure composed by Justine de Moriamé, Erika Schillebeeckx, and their Art. The whole forms a magnetic field of experimentation which attracts and digests itssurroundings. Four hands, two souls, and four eyes are tuned together toinvoke a collective memory, to alter it, and to pass it on. The weavings serve as witnesses of their era, survivors of a narrative, oscillating between past and future, embodying our roots, expanding the present.

By giving itself time for creation, KRJST takes an intimate awareness of time both as the place of change and a place of permanence and as a place of reconciliation between traditional and ritual technique and experimental and modern technique, making dialogue between laborious work of weaving and the moment of the gesture. The binary relationship between the jacquard and the processor is already evocative in itself. Such an oscillation between the past and the future between craftsmanship and technology, reflecting the importance of keeping our roots and yet living with the times.
