Kristin Van Nuffel
Ceramic Artist
Artist statement
Long ago, when I started my ceramics studies at St Lucas, school of arts in Ghent, I wanted to become a potter. I kept that up for a year, the love for modeling kept me more and more away from the turntable. For me, clay is THE material to express myself. Every now and then I have a work cast in bronze. After a TV documentary about the extinction of the rhinoceros, I felt it necessary to make as many as possible so that people would still remember the animals when they were really gone. In the meantime, many more animals have been reviewed in my oeuvre, in all possible shapes and colours. More recently, humans and flora have also been added. I let them merge and/or make up stories around them, which I then shape in my own way, always with a lot of enthusiasm and surrender.
