Her work can be interpreted as a neofeminist treatment of the position and the representation of women, Eijsinga dissociates herself from this kind of direct statement. The artist prefers the grey zone: ambiguity. Or, as Eijsinga herself writes: “My work does not disclose a univocal meaning but rather retains a certain degree of suspense. I aim for deceptive clarity.” more culture >>>
