Caren Van Herwaarden

Lives and works in Amsterdam, Holland. Has exhibitions in Holland, Italy, Germany and Canada.

My specialty is: collage, works on paper and watercolours. I have this livelong fascination for the human body as a reservoir for our thoughts, doubts and fears. The relation between the material object: the body, and imaterial things like emotions; thoughts, doubts and fears. 12 years ago, I worked a few years in the anatomical collection of Hollands oldest university in Leiden. It was there where my fascination was profoundly activated and became loaded with meaning.
