Aurélien Lepetit (based between Amsterdam and London) is an interdisciplinary artist and maker working with hand-made textiles techniques and botanical dye processes. His practice investigates the thread as a cosmotechnical and philosophical framework, exploring how making operates as a form of thinking across dimensions. Conceived as a line, a code, and a living material, Lepetit’s work translates gesture into surface and matter into time, unfolding in installations and textile-lexicons.
Over the past decade, his work ranged from endurance-based performances (2016–2020), site-specific installations (2017–2022), digital happenings (2020–2022), to textile-database systems (2023–present)—hand-dyed, woven, and embroidered works that function as archives of biometric, cosmotechnical, and botanical data.
