Monique Kwist (1965) Dutch Artist,
Our ways of observing space, organising space, how we experience inside-outside, seems important to me and I guess it influences a lot. The intriguing concept of empty space also is really interesting to circle around.
With sensitivity for material and concept I try to keep my work experimental.
During the years I developed 3 dimensional objects, photography, work on paper etc. The process of working in one technique influences the other.
Travelling to remote places, visiting interesting archeological or architectural sites as well as natural reserves is something I love to do, to learn from.
An artwork can be a space in itself.
I hope you enjoy.
