Recycle Art

Simone ten Bosch

'Save the world: recycle.'


Ten Bosch loves vivid materials. Recycling is often an integral part of her work with ceramics and textile. For example she used old clothes for 'Worldwide Skirts', an art event with women of all cultures in The Hague (The Netherlands). She also would like to work with materials like glass. For her recycling is a broad concept. She believes that even life is a process of recycling: birth..aging..death..birth. Once, she developed a photographic film with two images superimposed on each other - her dying grandmother and herself pregnant with her first daughter. She placed this picture within a statue of large mussel shells.

She combined this image together with a picture from the Olympic Stadium in Munich (Germany), so that it appeared as if her grandmother was ascending to heaven like an angel.

For the project 'Recycle Art' she decided to make a mobile of a chandelier as a light for the future. She has wrapped a tin spiral with clothes. A spiral of light. She felt that her artwork had to be both new and useful.
