Drawn From Clay - Noordoostpolder
5th March - 3rd April ’09
Gallery Libby Sellers
29 Thurloe Place, London
Gallery Libby Sellers presents 'Drawn From Clay – Noordoostpolder', an exhibition of work by the Dutch design Studio Atelier NL.
Nadine Sterk and Lonny van Rijswijck, who together make up Atelier NL, spent months exploring the fields and researching the agricultural particularities of the Noordoostpolder region of central Netherlands. The resulting exhibition is a rigorous yet truly beautiful presentation of their findings.
Drawn From Clay emphasizes Atelier NL‘s sensitive and research–led approach to design. By presenting the constituent parts of their studies — geological samples, photographs and field analysis — alongside their hand–thrown clay vessels made from the various soil deposits collected, the Dutch duo address important issues of place, identity and worth.
