Hanneke vvan den Bergh

Hanneke van den Bergh

Hanneke van den Bergh‘s husband dropped this ceramic sculpture and it shattered on the sidewalk. Her 50 cm high wood-fired piece was a central work for the exhibition to be installed that day . . .

A year later Hanneke was still wondering what to do with the broken sculpture. She had reassembled and glued it together, but did not contemplate selling it. In the meantime, she had been experimenting with bronze casting on a small scale. Using this knowledge of casting, Hanneke decided to try to give new life to the damaged clay sculpture.

Elizabeth Anne Kendall - Piedmont Craftsmen

” I explore these different directions through my ceramic work. On the one hand I make vessels that are a response to memories of time spent in my grandmother’s sewing studio. My fabric, clay, allows me to translate the behavior and techniques of the sewing room into new forms. I can also create forms that are both bricks and windows. They can obscure or reveal. The forms can meander along the wall and my eye can explore space both within and around. These components frame a story or are a story in their own right.”
