Hanneke BEAUMONT

I

am a clay person; it is my preferred medium. It is strong and fragile at the same time and therefore expresses best what I am trying to say. It also never stops surprising me. In recent works, I have also focused on cast iron, mostly because I like its natural oxidized surfaces. The inner dimension of the sculpture is essential to my work. I represent the human being, regardless of where he’s from, who he is or what he does. I believe some feelings are universal to mankind and wish to express these.
