Carolien Weerstand

Carolien Roosmarijn Weerstand is an artist who works with different everyday objects. A major area of ​​interest is circularity and the way we interact with the (material) world around us. Creating a collection of (utility) objects is a key part of the visual process. When she has collected enough, she starts funneling through this collection. With her works, Carolien often wants to respond to her environment and uses everyday experiences and subjects that appeal to her personally as a starting point. By using everyday objects in her work, Carolien shows the absurdity of the relationship between man and thing. Instead of forcing an opinion on the viewer, Carolien prefers question (the behavior of) the viewer with her works.
