Get inspired! This is a great example of how you can fold a 2D paper into something threedimensional.

Bergmans is fascinated by movement and the shapes that arise from it. She is amazed at how many materials are squeezed into straitjackets, with no room for the natural characteristics of the material to shine out. Characteristic of Bergman’s work method is her close study of existing production processes that she then manipulates and reworks. Using this approach she gives the material room to choose its own way.

Dit zijn Light Bulbs van Pieke Bergmans, de werken die zorgden voor haar grote internationale doorbraak. Deze lichtobjecten hebben allerlei vormen en formaten aangenomen die je niet zou verwachten van een gewone lamp en precies daarom zijn ze fascinerend en mooi om naar te kijken.

Ventura Lambrate, Pieke Bergmans: FREEZE

FROZEN RIVER

From this exhibit you would have thought no one had ever seen a piece of ice before. A block of ice taken from lapland to stay at the exhibition for ‘as long as it lasts’.

The ice was presented with a poem which told us the reason for its existence. To appreciate its beauty an the performance it gives to us whilst it transforms naturally into water. ‘Think of me as a metaphor for the greed and neglect of nature’.

It was some what fascinating to see this block of ice stood freely on it’s own reducing in size as its melts. It taught me how we need to appreciate things more in their natural form and made me identify the smaller details, where I could see the layers of water connect with each other through the piece of ice.
