Weightless again | 2020 | SERIES OF 8
Handcarved human figures in vintage glass vessels : Balsa wood, vintage fabric, twine, found objects, paint.
This series is again exploring the sensation of migration. The loss of home and belonging. A human figure preserved in five 17th Century Apothecary like vessels. A soul somewhere between heaven and earth, floating midair on balloons of some sort. The embalmed, isolated figure carries memories gathered in life, waiting to go on a new journey. With a strong desire to feel free from responsibilities, stress and fear. To feel Weightless Again. It reflects biographically my own personal voyage relocating from the Netherlands to Australia.
