9 Women - A Series of Nine Portraits, Created Entirely from 'Trash'

9 Women was a personal project, highlighting womankind, recycling and the number 9. I refer to these artworks as 'papiermache-mosaics', which refers to the materials and process of their creation.

Made from papiermache, the pictures are in relief and are decorated in a repetitive fashion, rather like mosaics, with recycled 'trash.     

My choice of women as the central theme, stems from my interest in the adaptability of womankind.
In my opinion, unequalled in their creativity, multi-faceted and possessing an inherent chameleon-like diversity.

Why 9? The number 9 has magical, meditative and religious qualiities and is seen as a symbol of harmony, inspiration and perfection. In many cultures it is considered sacred, with a reference to eternity.

9 Women were exhibited at The Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, in the Netherlands, 01/05/11 - 31/07/11
