Rose coloured mirror and concrete

In her work Quinda Verheul often addresses what is otherwise invisible; places, environments and situations that escape us. She creates sculptures and art installations exploring topics like industrial mining, dredging and delving for treasures that continue to feed global consumption and directly affect the alteration of landscapes. The different topics that Quinda explores in different series are all interconnected. Inspired by the concept of monism, she believes that everything is one; every particle is connected to the bigger thing around us. In her work, every series explores a different fragment of the larger story. Part of this is exploring different techniques and materials that express the concepts she works with. Mirrors hereby form a recurring metaphorical element that show both the human perspective as well as the experience of emptiness and reflection. Laying bare some of the processes that go into the alteration of landscapes, Quinda Verheul aims to create a space for inspiration, conversation and reflection.
