Anneke Eussen (1978, NL) lives and works in Vaals (NL)
Repurposing materials reshuffles their meaning, creating different angles to look through. Eussen considers the glass works as ‘Zeit-Zeichnungen’ (time drawings). The traces of humidity, rain, dust, rust create a unique appearance for every work. With only a couple of actions she brings a tension between materials, between controlled and uncontrolled action.

Her practice involves reusing found pieces of glass
Works often precariously hang - seemingly floating - play with time and gravity
works are very spatial, sculptural and reference architectural elements such as archways, doorways, fixings etc.
Drawing is also a key aspect of her practice - it will definitely be useful for me to centre drawing within my work - using it to think through designs and plans for sculptures but also considering if I can further develop my drawings such as printing them, collages them or making more imagery from them. Edit: 29.08.2023 - this became very significant as my sketches became a key component of my publication - looking at how mark making and paper can be exploited for their material qualities - looking at the translucency of the paper, the flow of ink - how lines can be abstracted.

2 Time-stained car panes, 1 broken glass plate in plexiglass frame
She creates very simplistic and peaceful imagery - very cool
Makes use of the subtle difference in colouration - this contrasts well with the clean and crips Perspex frames that the objects are held in
She is described as compiling found glass panels sourced from buildings and automobiles into glass assemblages
