… We might find silk paper, transparent paper, old carriers, even partially mouldy sheets peeled from the walls of old factories. “I feel like an archaeologist of forgotten paper,” she says. “And some cells start as old paper but end as futuristic ones.” Her work revolves around one shape: the cell. Oval, egg-like, elemental. Each piece is, in her words, “an ode to the cell”, to the vulnerability and strength at the core of life….

My work is an ode to the cell. To the innermost of something. To the hope and the promise that is contained in the core of all life. Without conditions, without external conditioning. To how it turns inwardly and returns to the outside, in its most vulnerable form. And to the enormous power that is hidden within.

Paper is the main material in my work. By putting several layers of transparent colours on top of each other, I try to create powerful but fragile visual statements. Because of that delicacy and vulnerability the work seemingly vibrates and constantly changes slightly. In the intuitive process of cutting, wrinkling, tearing and cutting the paper, always resulting in the primal oval form, a unique visual language is born, bearing a great colourfulness and translucency.

Ik hoop je te ontmoeten in Rotterdam waar ik uitgenodigd ben door Esther Stasse op Silent Ground.

Op deze 2e editie brengt de kunstbeurs Silent Ground een zorgvuldig geselecteerde groep kunstenaars, ontwerpers, galeries, designers en een museum samen, die allen een diepgewortelde passie voor materiaal delen.
De beurs toont werk van kunstenaars, designers en galeries die zich bewegen op het snijvlak van beeldende kunst en toegepaste kunst.

Ik zal er samen met Kris De Plecker recent werk laten zien. Tot dan!
