Day 6 Amsterdam March 2nd


We went to the studio of Ela Bauer she discussed her love for collecting benches she had a lot of space and stated to pull her works out of draws and spreading them out. Her work incorporated big amounts of colour and made you want to touch them. I was most interested in the transparent and colour combinations joining, as well as the stitching. Her work looked much better worn on the body rather than flat on a bench. I started thinking about combinations of metal and silicon.


Next, we visited Peter Hoogeboom he had his studio within his home, in a small room; it was interesting to see his setup and how he works from a small space. His work was very technical with ceramic processes. The pieces he showed us were very delicate and beautifully coloured with glazes; the pink looking very bodily. The neckpieces also played with noise as the small ceramic bottle shapes hit together. The works are cumbersome and heavy but delicate at the same time.
