With a focus on natural fibres, Carolin creates three-dimensional effects in a signature technique that combines felting, sewing, weaving, painting and stitching.

theatre of the sea produces a range of works including installations and immersive events, combining elements of site activation, experimental theatre, secular ritual, soundscape, film, and spoken-word. Our work aims to resurrect the essentially human stance in a challenged world. It is conceived as a therapy for civilisation, enacting the future we wish to inhabit.
