The works of Fleur Ouwerkerk represent a search for the connection between identity and looks.
She is inspired by people in general; human behavior, body-movement, perception of beauty, beauty-ideals and eccentricity.

As a mixed media artist, Fleur creates layered portraits, wearable art and tapestries. The handwoven objects can hang on the wall and can sometimes come to life once worn on the body.

Since she was fascinated by hair as a young child already, hair is her ultimate material and subject to work with. Therefor, Island Gallery curated this stunning hairy tapestry for EXPO NO.3
