een spring experiment

Springs are inviting your feet to leave the ground. With every jump, a print takes shape beneath you. Marloes is interested in the artistic process itself. She aims to dissolve the distance between artist, visitor, and object, encouraging participation. Using the exhibition space as a site for experimentation, she transforms visitors’ jumps into a printing press. As people jump, balance and textures are explored. The pressure of their movements results in unexpected prints that document time and motion. For Marloes, play is at the heart of the creative process. She plays by experimenting, jumping, standing upside down, building, printing, and editing. By inviting others into her work through participation and interaction, she hopes to share the joy of making. Through this, Marloes hopes to spark renewed curiosity and wonder for the overlooked and the ordinary.
