Evelien Sipkes | Endless

60

description

Nature for Evelien Sipkes is an overwhelming, inexhaustible source of inspiration. It is a precious gift that have to be used, not abused. It becomes protagonist of a magic tale, made of clay, silk, bones, porcelain, iron, zink, sometimes written on human skin, other time surrendered to the space as an evocative installation. The essence of materials pops up in her work, balancing amazing contrasts. "The perfection of the imperfection".
