Artwork Description

Happy Dance was made at the end of a long period of being stuck inside. It symbolises the rush of freedom we all felt at the end of 2020- the need top express ourselves, to dance, to be happy!
Happy Dance is inspired by the Brolga's of Queensland, the famous dancing birds.

Aukje Van Vark 7 artworks | 0 Sold

Trained as an art teacher in The Netherlands, it was only in Australia (and after our 3 kids grew up a little) that I focussed on my sculpture career.
Moving countries was interesting, but also brought some problems- different sources and language sometimes prohibited me from finding the materials I was used to.
My inspiration has always been in nature, and in animals as their liveliness and movement touches me. I love plastic materials like clay, wax and cement, and at the same time love working with metal- and the very best is combining them!
When working with a material I will always seek out what cant be done- and how to do it anyway.
