Description
Deceptively simple, Koen’s work has typically included materials such as yarn and thread. In his new work, however,
Koen supplements his ambiguous forms and crocheted, orb-like sculptures with hand-carved wooden pieces that interact quietly with the softer
components. The wooden forms themselves are hand-whittled and sanded from soft and hard maple stock. In addition to evoking the rustic
aesthetic of the artisan, the wooden pieces are understated objects that simultaneously embody both pictoral and physical space, simple lines
and concrete forms.
