Artist statement As an artist I am triggered by the phenomenon ‘Power’ How does this phenomenon occur and what are its foreseen and unforeseen consequences? Implicating social and economical changes, were mostly the people are target, in being manipulated and misguided by social media and the internet, were data are the important tool. In my projects I respond to these consequences. Doing a lot of research, par example the artists and their role in history, I draw lines from there to the contemporary art. An important source of inspiration for me. My images I find in newspapers, on the internet, magazines and in my own works. By transforming and enlarging these materials, searching for an unexpected and unusual context, with the suggestion underlying the surface, I find that I reach the audience. By constantly reaching and renewing within myself I try to continue that line. PROJECT SILVER MAPLE BALLROOM 2016 - 2017 This project is about manipulation, mental and verbal, I think right now you will find this phenomenon everywhere. Whether we talk about the Trumps of our time, or Google with his manipulative data searches, or the way it is brutally used within religion. To me it looks like ordinary people all over are deluded by overpowering loud rude speeches, mind boggling internet data, the power of media, without asking themselves what they might feel or think. It seems as if as a sincere person that is civilised, thinks, analyses, educates him or herself, is powerless by this short-sighted and self-centred behaviour. www.riedstra.eu

Riedstra started drawing at a young age and in the following years, after finishing her education at St Martins, London (M.A. Scenography), she developed an authentic style, that characterises her as a professional artist, fully aware of the world she lives in and fully aware of how to respond to the estrangement she encounters in society. This being her point of departure. (Her extensive traveling and living abroad had a major impact on her view of the world) Her talent is being recognized and this gives her the opportunity to work freely, from within herself, without being bordered by what is agreeable and fashionable. As a photographer Riedstra uses this very same talent, the eye of the camera becoming her drawing tool so to speak. Her photographs were chosen for a major exhibition at the Louvre in Paris. Her works are in the collection of the City Museum in Tetovo, Macedonia, and Budapest. Several drawings from the Renaissance project were bought by private collectors in the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, France, USA. Several paintings are in private collections.
