NADINE VAN VELDHUIZEN
“Through my research in human posture and behavement we see tormented yet wondrous figures.
These represent different layers depicting our state of mind, reflecting the versatility of human identity.
I construct my sculptures by pushing the limits of characteristics of materials as resin, glass, concrete and clay. In their own existence the figures claim their autonomy, while the interaction between them creates a new conversation.”
