Through the physical act of stitching, Marisa seamlessly paves the way for fusions between contemporary and traditional arts. A discerningly subtle application of warm brushed wax reflects and absorbs the light, changing the tones of the spaces throughout the day, bathing the figures through greens, cyans and caramels. Timeless motion occurs in these spacious solitary abstractions. Marisa Veerman’s fine arts practice makes comment on the transient nature of beauty as an all-sensory experience.
‘‘Quietude’ is an exploration of stillness, calmness and quiet in a person.
Time is taken to observe and listen.
To see and to notice.
To sympathise and empathise.
From a place of quiet, it is easy to see the rich inner worlds of others
Brushes of time, flowers and thread are used to tell these stories.’
-Marisa Veerman
