The art work of Erica Wesseling is deeply rooted in her identification with nature. Broadly speaking, this expresses itself
in her fascination for landscapes and on a smaller scale in her attention to natural processes such as germination, growth
and decay and all stages in between. The whole circle of life of plants and trees offer a feeding ground for the imagination.
Withered branches, roots, twigs, the diaphanous structure of a fallen, dehydrated leaf, these elements come to life again in her art.
This re-use of materials not only applies to the natural world, but extends to found rest materials such as perspex, nylon fibers,
metals, plastic mirror and scrap wood and more. In their second life they regain new meaning.
Erica Wesseling moves freely, playfully and intuitively between diverse techniques and materials creating playfull contrasts in which
the beauty and the forces of nature are made visable once more. The results are works of art in abstracted figuration with a poetic disposition.
