About
In her sculptures and installations, Eady van Acker (1997) connects her personal experiences of nature with universal themes such as decay, resilience and transition.
The animals, the leaves, the stones, and the sounds, they are all integral to how we perceive and relate to the world. According to her, rather than seeing ourselves as mere observers, we should consider ourselves part of the environment, a small cog in the machine that keeps the world in balance.
Van Acker’s sculptures reflect on the melancholic beauty inherent in the cycle of life, death, decay and eventual return to the earth. Her works often resemble inhospitable landscapes: lifeless, alien, and slightly uncanny. In the idea of dying, decomposition, and being absorbed back into the earth, she finds something both beautiful and melancholic. At the same time, however, her work also evokes associations with the brutal primal forces of nature.
