Description
This ceramic art object is part of my ‘99 feelings’-project.
It derives from a project I did many years ago reflecting my self-portrait.
I called it ‘how the outside can tell how you feel inside’.
I started out with 9 feelings and then I suddenly thought of making 99 of them...
I like the fact that the number is uneven and that it leaves at least one feeling to complete to 100. That one unfinished feeling to make 100, represents for me all the feelings I haven\'t covered and that it can be anything...

It is a series of babushka’s where I added a texture or addition to it on the outside.
Quite often, these textures or additions lead you to the feeling right away or sometimes it might recall a complete different feeling for you.
That is perfectly possible as this is just what it evokes for me.
It can be anything you feel as there is no \'right\' feeling for it.
Each feeling is subjective and personal.
My sculptures are created as art objects. A lot of time and love goes into each one.
You can see all of them here: [link]
Or watch a little montage I made:

This feeling comes unglazed, as glazing or raku firing would distract from the feeling.
Being ‘naked’ makes the feeling stronger too.
These are 7,5cm or 3” in height, sometimes a bit higher, depending on what feeling it represents.
