Vere van der Veen

Description

Vere van der Veen is a creator, painter, writer, illustrator, and builder. In her work, she explores themes such as oblivion, loneliness, comfort and the search for connection. She likes it when you can see small missteps and how it is constructed, how the lines and planes are built up. Like a ball of wool that you try to unravel. From a distance, you can see what it is, but once you get closer, you notice small obstacles. It becomes more exciting when you can see that the work has been created with some effort. In addition to creating art, she teaches at DONS childcare and at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy. She is currently working as Interim Head of the Image and Language department at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy.
