A Heart Shaped Javelin | Afra Eisma

Since she graduated from the KABK in The Hague, artist Afra Eisma has been creating colourful and playful works with a strong autobiographical character. In 2019, Vleeshal invited her to participate in Rooms of Now, a project for which Vleeshal asked Middelburg residents to open up their homes for an artistic intervention. Eisma - a great admirer of Pipilotti Rist - often uses labour-intensive techniques and works with textiles, ceramics and more unconventional materials such as plastic, artificial hair, clothing and all kinds of utensils. Like Pipilotti Rist, Afra Eisma immerses the viewer in a decidedly personal world of texture, tactility, lust for life and energy. For the exhibition booklet Eisma made a B/W contribution.
