Inspired by the early days of COVID shelter-in-place Pandemic I is a physical expression of the world health crisis & shelter-in-place. Pandemic I is uncomfortable, bound & blind folded. Her contorted position is a reflection of forced confinement, her burlap bindings further reflect this discomfort and pain. She is blind both physically and metaphorically.
Pandemic II
Bronze
$7,500
Pandemic II represents the painful instances of the human experience caused by the worldwide pandemic experienced in 2020. It juxtaposes vulnerability with the will to fight and overcome an unexpected predicament. The physical restraints allude to the obligatory shelter in place lockdown policies. Her back tattoo will stay with her throughout her life, just as the effects of COVID-19. However, the branding also speaks to her endurance and her survival in adversity.
Nurturing was one of my first true breakthroughs as an aspiring artist. A piece that for me captured the synergy between the artist and the model, it challenged me to go beyond my previous limits. This piece taught me. It continues to hold within it that strong feeling of being an artist. These experiences while creating the work combined with her gesture - the soft look toward the viewer over her shoulder - is a sculpture that truly was, is, and continues to be Nurturing.

Inspired by the deep sense of loss at my father's passing, and the feeling that his spirit continues to protect and guide me, this piece is dedicated to my dad Harry Bleijenberg. Everyday I am grateful to have shared such a wonderful connection with another human being, and am constantly reminded of how precious and rare that is in this world. While I struggle to find my way with the void left in his passing, I find solace in knowing he continues to live on with me.
