RIEN BEKKERS
From my background as a costume designer for theater and opera, I create costume objects.
Without a moving actor or singer, a costume gains the characteristics of a monumental sculpture, it becomes an object.
From a fantasy, an interest in the material and love for the craftsmanship, a shape, an atmosphere and a silhouette – which I hope raise wonder and intrigue – gradually come into being through modeling and experimenting.
Different artistic traditions from my own country and other cultures are a source of inspiration.
There is no substantive link between the source of inspiration and the final object in which it appears. It is purely about the shape and the atmosphere that it creates.
From a relative simplicity in lines and colour shades to very exuberant.
There is always something sculpted about it, and a little absurdism always stimulates my imagination.
