A personal project, highlighting womankind, recycling and the number 9.

I call these my papiermache-mosaics, because of the materials used in their creation.

Measuring 30x30 cms, they are built up in relief with papier-mâché. Decoration, often repetitive, rather like that of a mosaic, uses recycled 'trash’ and acrylic paint. 

The choice of women as the central theme, stems from an interest in the versatility, creativity and multi-faceted nature of womankind.

Why 9?

The number 9 has magical, meditative and religious qualities and is seen as a symbol of harmony, inspiration and perfection. In many cultures it is considered sacred, with a reference to eternity.

Exhibited: 01/05/2011 - 31/07/2011 at The Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, in the Netherlands.
