Excursion

12 – 2 pm
Burgh-Haamstede (Map)
On Sunday June 24, teja van hoften opened her studio in Burg-Haamstede to the public and gave a talk about her artistic practice and interests. The talk was followed by a walk through the Zeepe dunes.
The intersections of man and nature – and the organic or human characteristics of both – are an important and recurring visible theme in the work of teja van hoften. In her house, her garden or outdoors in nature, she constantly finds new examples: the veins of a leaf, the thick muscular structure of a tree trunk, the changing wrinkles in sand or the stubborn vegetation of dune sand. This duality can be seen in her sculptures.
