Maurice Meewisse’s work is in principle site-specific, whereby he
sees the ‘site’ as part of a complex network of interests, projections
and relationships. Within that he looks for a discrepancy, a certain
complexity or a potential hidden beneath the surface.
The individual works chosen for this exhibition are explorations of a more autobiographical nature, connections of the artist’s past with stories he came across. The prevailing material of these series of works is scavenged wood because as Maurice sees it, it is alive, it is transformative and it carries its own history.
The immersive installation “Isolators” included 47 pieces of
diverse sizes, made out of different types of wood, of different timelines with countless tales to tell and sourced throughout the country.
