“This necklace was my grandmothers favourite and now it lays untouched in my drawer”. Marieke Matthijs new art project is about objects that come with emotions when inherited. Often we cherish the objects because of the memories and even if we don’t use them we dedicate a space in our homes to them. I created photographs and salt sculptures using inherited necklaces to emphasise their unused state.
Exhibited at: Uit het Gareel Festival, The grey space in the middle Den Haag, May 2022.
