Karin van Dam

Artist Karin van Dam (1959) is known for creating installations made with materials such as boat fenders, rope and insulation pipes. She sees her installations as spatial drawings through which viewers can walk. Indeed, the installations always start out as small drawings. Here too she often integrates spatial objects such as rubber caps, rope and wooden sticks. Urban structures and street patterns are an important source of inspiration, which she then translates freely and intuitively, guided by the possibilities that the chosen materials and objects offer her.
