Marjo van der Leeuw - Lauwereys

My artiststatement:
Events and problems who are happening in the world - not rarely also related to religion - I show in my textile work. Emotions, triggered by those events can be described as common experience, and by presenting them in my work I'm sharing this with others.
Inspiration I get from my environment, nature, media and from my former job as a social worker.
The shapes and colours that call emotions - I use a lot of earth tones - have a close relationship with my first childhood, that I spent in Belgian Congo. They are mixed with my social experiences.
