bio
Anouk
van Wijk [1994] graduated from the Fashion Department of University of the Arts
Utrecht in 2016 and the research master in Artistic Research from the University of Amsterdam in 2023. She works as a visual artist on goods in the realm of sculptures,
writings, textiles, and installations. Sliding through landscapes of eerie
spirits, she explores the dynamic character of the bodies of humans, animals, plants,
micro-organisms, and other beings. From this idea of endless mutability
she approaches the concepts around which her work revolves; the ever incomplete
character of being, with the body as an ever incomplete figure. The
~slimy~soft~pliable~hairy~shiny~wet~ textures make the works balance the thin
border between feelings of attraction and repulsion.
