Marieke’s work continues to explore the human figure, considering way in which sculpture mimics the three dimensionality of a human presence and thus the powerful dialogue it invites – human to human look-alike. Her fascination with the human body as a carrier of stories led her to a focus on public art, mostly cast in cement. Concrete, that humble material of sidewalks and skyscrapers has become an urban language and significant, telling our stories back to us.
