About the Exhibition:

Tineke Van Der Eecken invites you to dive into a world of complexity, gut and heart, grief and loss, joy and wonder in CONCURRENCIES.

Tineke's intricate sculptures bring a poetic nuance to the natural marine world. Her storytelling, fine lacework, exquisite jewellery and works created through corrosion casting evoke an interconnectedness.

CONCURRENCIES shifts the artist's focus from the tributaries of rivers and forests to the oceans with a breathtakingly intricate display of sculpture and jewellery, precious metals and plastic.
