Liz Vercruysse
Liz's work may be best described as a funky, organic meld of seed pod inspired forms and botanically inspired texture. Intrigued by the mystery of the pod as a reproductive vessel, she has chosen to explore the form, investigating its subtleties and potentials. Recently this exploration has lead to an involvement with other forms that she sees as having an influence from various seed pod shapes. The delicate protective and reproductive parts of botanies offer inspiration for surfaces and a natural blend of form and textures emerge when these botanical influences are applied to the surface of a pod inspired form. It’s a correlation that lies deeper than the surface, offering a sub text for the viewer to explore.
