Bronze and stone

Marijke van der Eerden lives in Schijndel. She is a self-taught sculpture artist and loves to work with bronze and stone.

The proces of bronze is very intense but gives her nice results.

When she works with stone, the sculptures are mostly abstract but specific. The kind of stones she uses are, Alabaster, Selenite, India, Chinese and Brazilian soapstone. Sometimes she uses hard stone, the other time the more soft ones.

Its a really hard work. She chops and polishes the stones. Its quit amazing how nice and soft the stones look when she is finished.
