Nesting Vessels | 2017

Simultaneously, Severijns has been working this year (2017) on a “Nesting Series”, the logical continuation of rebuilding ones “nest” (home) after being uprooted or displaced. The artworks focus on paper texture and abstract compositions that are inspired by the nature of her new homeland. She is especially intrigued by the cycle point at which there is total bareness, vulnerability, decay, and disintegration. These elements and an abandoned bird nest that the artist found laying on her street inspired her to give life to paper nesting vessels, that explore the 3D effect and push the limits of paper. These five Nesting Vessels are symbolizing the power of displaced people (re)building ones ‘home.
