Gerti Bierenbroodspot

Bierenbroodspot re-creates a past in our own time perspective, allowing each epoch to be influenced by later, as well as earlier levels of meaning. She puts down layer upon layer of paint as if each were an archaeological stratum carrying its own message, with its own force and vitality. Yet there is nothing of the archaeologist about Bierenbroodspot. There is no intellectual pretension. Rather, she reinterprets what her eye remembers, letting her own feelings act directly on the fragments which remain of the past.
