Heart of the Golden Sun

The transformative potential of used and often discarded materials fuels Moniek’s practice, while exploring notions of time and timelessness, the known and unknown. She is drawn to items that are reflections of the past, imaginings of the future, and symbols and signifiers of technology, architecture and contemporary culture.

“The transformative potential of used and often discarded materials fuels my practice, exploring notions of time and timelessness, the known and unknown. I am drawn to attributes in items that are reflections of the past, imaginings of the future and observations of the everyday. I am a collector of symbols and signifiers....I riff on these, working with ideas of technology, architecture and contemporary culture. I make expressive work using a wide variety of matter and process."
