Carolien Adriaansche
Garbage is one of the causes of the elimination of biodiversity on Earth.
Carolien Adriaansche combines her passion for fauna and her fascination with form by transforming disposable trash into playful treasured trophies. Since the 1990’s she has collected and cataloged tens of thousands of plastic packaging parts, by color and form. The artist skillfully recycles, re-integrates, and re-purposes “trash” to create a new animal species. Her work has gained accolades here in The Netherlands, as well as in Paris with Colette, in Hong Kong, and in New York. Known in The Netherlands as the “Afvaljuf” (“Trash Teacher” in English), Carolien educates school children on how to reduce the consumption of plastics while creatively re-purposing or recycling. Carolien Adriaansche’s atelier is located in The Hague, The Netherlands.
Dutch. Based in The Hague, Netherlands.
