Kirsten Spuijbroek |2

Time seems to flow at once backwards and forwards through the work of artist Kirsten Spuijbroek (NL). The flowers she dips in porcelain become fossilised; the objects that emerge from the kiln might have travelled from aeons past or from a distant future. It gives them a tranquil beauty, a sense of mourning of all that comes to pass, reinforced by the muted colours of the clay. At EKWC, Spuijbroek developed new techniques of applying glaze as a constructive element in a series of sculptures and wall pieces that speak of absence, and the desire to preserve it.
