Artist Statement for Charlotte Akker Van Den
|
|
|
Sculpting is a lifetime translating emotions into sculptures that tell about life, our lifes, yours' and mine.
I am far more interested in the similarity of people, than in how we differ. Althought each person is unique we look alike in our emotional worlds. Wherever we live, whatever language we speak, we all recognize emotions like love, loneliness, regret and nostalgia. To be recognized and to recognize automatically creates a bond, a bond without words nor borders. A bond which can unite us/people all over the world.
My sculptures (stone, ceramics, metal or wood) are made from the depth of my inner life, which resembles your inner life. In my work I try to visualize the emotions we share, to create a bond between all of us. For I believe, united we stand.
Charlotte van den Akker
