DARKLING studio

Our Story

Darkling explores the materiality of latex in its multiple shape shifting presences.

We make unique wearable matter through collaborative production and aim to establish a fully ecological making process.
Coming from different artistic backgrounds, we collaborate as a group in search to discover new production methods.

The sensuality and material qualities of latex bring interesting boundaries and opportunities we love working with.

Mission Statement

We derive from the conventional and make wearable and non-wearable art by using a material that is vegan and as sustainable as possible. We are a platform for self-development and invite feminist artists to be part of a movement where art can be part of sustainable awareness.
