Heather den Uijl
Statement:
My work is a way to connect back to a lost sense of self. Rooted in the question “Where do you look when the connection to yourself has been lost?” I seek out intimate and transcendent moments in nature and document the experience of searching for remnants and residue of my own consciousness. Working across painting, drawing, and sculpture I draw from landscapes, forms, and encounters, both real and imagined, to create work that operates as a type of mirror wherein glimpses of the self are hidden, waiting to be uncovered.
