Baekelandt explores the boundary between the solid and liquid state of objects. To do so, she uses glass, ice and epoxy, among other materials. The transparency creates an alienating image: objects are stripped of their meaning and become invisible in space and time. By ‘melting and solidifying’ banal objects such as plates, forks, knives but also luxury products, she questions both our society and our place as individuals in it.

Nienke Baeckelandt created ‘Meta Stones’ for the second edition of ‘Parade ,the public event’ in the last orginal woodturning shop of Saint Cirq Lapopie. Meta stones are questioning the value of heritage in this specific environment. A time ensnared in time. Stones trying to preserve stones.
