Kirsteen PIETERSE biography | artworks | events

Scottish sculptor Kirsteen Pieterse draws on an enduring interest in the landscape and the structures that man builds within it. In her architectural sculptures, wall pieces and drawings the artist considers the natural world and the effect this power can have upon built environments. In her latest body of work Pieterse makes specific reference to the Hong Kong environment, using the city’s iconic bamboo and also transparent acrylic to evoke wet weather. The artist’s work displays a powerful duality between something which is physically sound and strong but which appears fragile or ruinous. In essence, the precariously leaning and balanced works speak of time and erosion and seek to demonstrate the romance, strength and enduring might of the natural world.
