The edge

By  Maria Kuipers 2015 - 2017
Sometimes my work is about harmonies as with 'The edge of'. Warm brown tones sit alongside warm blacks with a hint of blue. And the colour combinations and placements seem to create it's own light and a sense of stillness. Geometric shapes nestle together revealing previous history within or around each shape. Cloth, paper and oil paint create layers and surfaces which have a sense of an archaeological dig, aged and worn.
