expressionist female torso of painted terracotta by the artist Jeanne Tax, born in Diessen (NL) in 1953
Jeanne prefers to reuse materials, which is plentiful. To form an image with different materials, to have them merge together is a process in itself. Each image has its own struggle in the relationship with her as maker.
Making an image “weatherproof” also takes a lot of research.
To give a deeper layer to an image/name she searches in the Greek & Roman Myths and Sagas, spiritual symbols and cultures.
This search is included in the visual process.
It is especially important to bring pleasure and her soul into the work.
