Inter alter Interior Design on the Crowdfunding Campaign
Solo Exposition “Terra Madre”, 14 september
Dorieke selected for prestigious international Talent Pressure Cooker program Bio Art Laboratories in Eindhoven
At the end of July I was informed that I have been selected to take part in the prestigious international Talent Pressure Cooker program of Bio Art Laboratories in Eindhoven. During a research period of 10 weeks I will look for opportunities to help bio-based and biodegradable alternative for the current acrylic paint for the creative sector. The focus here is on renewable natural material and organic polymers. The ultimate goal is to contribute to the transition to a sustainable art sector, where material use fits in with a circular vision.
During the Dutch Design Week 2018 in Eindhoven from 20 to 28 October, the research result (and hopefully a prototype product) will be presented to visitors and businesses. To meet the high travel, accommodation and presentation costs that come with this research period, I seek financial support through this crowdfunding campagne.
Ode to the Oyster
The paint, the beautiful opaque white colour on my body is made of oyster shells, earth, nature…I am nature, we are nature…Everything is connected. Nothing in live is permanent, be humble! This image is part of a series made in collaboration with @linolithium , images that focus on the relationship between human and nature, images that very literally show the connection between me, my art/research and nature. This wonderful colour white is made from oyster shells (a waste material from restaurants… ) My paint is completely biodegradable, making sure not to break the continuous circle that is and should be present throughout life!

Dorieke supports the Resource House
The Resource House in Heerlen is the first modular house in the Netherlands that is completely built with recycled materials and raw materials. The first design for the Resource House already consists of 66% recycled (demolition) materials, but their search for new applications in re-use continues!
As a pigment specialist, Dorieke is researching the color of pigments from various demolition materials with natural origin (eg these roof tiles). Subsequently, in collaboration with Jorn Behage, we examine which possibilities these pigments have in the Resource House, such as wall colors.

New paintings with natural pigments during Residency at Glo’Art
Last weeks Dorieke was artist-in-residence bij Glo’ Art. From this residency two new paintings were produced, completely done in natural pigments.
“Give you roots and the Freedom to Grow” /1.90m x 1.40m/ tempera made with natural pigments on burlap/2018 /
It celebrates the relationship between human and nature, showing a pattern of light and shadow on hands holding a delicate root, against a background of dark soil. There is no light without darkness and no life without death…A large circle binds everything together, the colours/pigments/paint are made of soil, earth, nature…we are nature, earth, soil, it is the origin and destination of all, everything is connected. Nothing in life is permanent, be humble!
Artist in Residence at Glo’Art
Starting on January 8, together with six other international artists, Dorieke will be Artist in Residence for 4 weeks at Glo’Art in Belgium.
The goal of Glo’Art is to discover and coach talented artists from around the world and to offer them the possibilities to grow and develop.
On social media, and on the project page, reports will be done from this residency.
