ARTIST STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Karin van der Molen’s artistic practice is a blend of sculpture and installation, ephemeral and semi-permanent, rooted in a profound connection with ecology and society. <\/span>
\n<\/span>Her work delves into the intricate relationships between place, matter, human and nonhuman, with a special interest in historical and social perspectives. Her socially engaged art practice extends to the foundation of and participation in two artist collaboratives\u00a0 (Zest Artist Collective-ZAC, and The White Flag Art Collaboration) – the latter informed by her background in Human Rights studies.\u00a0 <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>As an environmental and site-specific artist, Karin van der Molen’s work not only explores the physicality of place, her work is also often informed by the socio-cultural fabric that defines it. The dynamic interplay between the artist, (often locally sourced) materials and the environment itself, leads to a continuous process of improvisation, and exchange.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her art serves as a catalyst for introspection and prompts a reevaluation of our role within the intricate web of nature, culture and contemporary challenges on different levels.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her practice as a nomad artist serves as a gateway to new environments, cultures, and people. Her work has been exhibited on the international stage, transcending boundaries and continents, showcasing her ability to adapt her practice to diverse contexts.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
