Made from egg shells, these small lights are made in conjunction to the 'Cycles' exhibition held at Van Gogh House from September - December 2024.
Cycles is a group exhibition of new work in response to the house, its existing spaces and objects, by 3 female artists Clara Hastrup (DK), Vibeke Mascini (NL) and Inés Cámara Leret (ES). All three artists spent time in the house across this year to develop their works around natural and mechanical rhythms and processes- electrical currents, cleaning routines, ecological and weather cycles and the chain reactions that are generated. The works presented in the house lead us to examine how the building itself, and perhaps all buildings, are composed of interconnected, delicately balanced conditions - vulnerable to changing circumstances.
This is a limited edition of 30 pieces
