Mia van der Burg

Mia van der Burg (NL, 1951) studied at the Academy of Fine arts in Rotterdam. She works and lives in this city. Van der Burg makes objects and drawings. Her objects were created after her mother's dead from her crockery. At first she cherished them by knitting white, soft wool around it. When the objects began to grow (vases, jugs) she was ready with this cherishing and now every  vase and jugle is transformed to a new object by  hitching around it. The new object has her own story.
