About the Item

Severijns gathered these broken stones from the eroded cliffs on the Poleg/Netanya beach after a devastating storm in 2018. The work abstracts the aftermath of lost pieces of land floating in a bleeding sea. Severijns' self-developed manipulating paper techniques are based on layering, merging, and weaving hundreds of small, hand-torn paper pieces into sculptural tapestries, murals, reliefs, and three-dimensional objects. The repetitive act of tearing paper creates a rugged, rough finish on each piece, emulating life itself with all its beauty and harshness, representing life’s imperfections. Bianca Severijns (b.1964) is a Dutch artist, born in the Netherlands. Severijns creates her multifaceted, striking artworks by continuously exploring the paper medium. Rooted in a multicultural background, her art explores themes of displacement, identity, and migration that stem from personal narratives, as well as nature’s cycles. With the hope of starting anew, Severijns' art invites reflection on our shared world.

Long-Term Agate

Resin cast geodes and cracked slate in a wooden frame by Paige Smith. This piece measures 18in x 18in, with a depth of 1-5/8in. Paige Smith AKA A Common Name, is a multi-disciplinary artist and designer who lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.
