As the human body continuously changes, from fetus to greybeard, so does our perception of the world around us change. Day by day the world as we perceive it is shaped by our emotions, experiences, culture and expectations. Mirjam Hoekman is fascinated by this state of flux. Her work reflects this fascination. Ovid in his Metamorphosis, speaks of ' the soft wax that is continuously sculpted into new forms, but remaining in essence the same wax.' The 'wax' in Hoekman's work is the underlying concept, which does not change; sorrow and joy, destruction or creation. What does change continuously is the form of the artworks themselves. Sculptures and paintings, two manifestations of an endless fascination with the flow of the past that underlies the present.

Translation: Mirjam Hoekman
