About The Artwork
This live size sculpture is a self-portret of me in marvel about my female body. The sculpture was fired in a special-made cobkiln. Using only elemental materials, earth, water, fire, air and space. This performative firing-proces of one month was described and photographed day by day. It could be followed on social media. The work is inspired on Gaia - mother earth - and the experience of being part of Her. The title refers to L'Origine du Monde of Gustaf Courbet. How lovingly this work portraits the vulva, it is still the mail perspective. In this sculpture I celebrate my female body, from my one inner female perspective.

Netherlands
In my work, I search for the feminine divine. I work in the area where matter and transcendent experiences converge. There I encounter ancient themes such as the moment of creation, life force and the natural movement of growth, birth and decay. I conduct research by recreating my own body. And through physical study of ancient images and stories. The process of making is as important as the images created in this process. My work is a ritual of clay, water, fire and air. A ritual in which the goddess becomes visible. https://www.mariekeploeg.nl Press: 2023 Trouw 2023 Volkskrant 2023 Nederlands Dagblad 2022 Hard/Hoofd Magazine
