Ann VAN HOEY

Ann folds her earthenware into an exquisite origami where all the elegance and sharpness of Belgian design are nourished by an age-old Japanese art. The result is objects of a truly rare quality where the precision of the execution contributes in a decisive way to their spatial tension. To take them in one’s hands, or even to look at them closely, is to know a dazzling admiration for this extraordinary technical prowess, for this so measured eloquence which reveals so much from such a restricted vocabulary. Her work is recognized worldwide and is part of the permanent collections of dozens of international museums.
