Herma’s newest project is a life-size seed box, the ‘Origin’.

 

During her travels, she visits botanical gardens as much as possible and takes a souvenir of the city or country with her. This could be a fallen leaf, flower or seed box.

 

‘Besides the artifacts, I always bring back memories from the countries I have visited, including from my trip to Japan in 2019. In Japanese tempels, you often find a dark tunnel under the Shrine. One has to find the way there by touch and to trust that there will be the light at the end. I wanted to convey that feeling, that sensory experience, through the Origin too.

 

In 2018, during one of my trips to Croatia, I took a small seed box with me.

After the first small form (15x30x15cm) in several parts, I made a larger form in two parts. Gradually the idea arose to represent the grandeur of nature through a life-size sculpture you can enter.’

 

The sculpture is incorporated into nature. The playful cut-outs are fun for small children. Origin is a seed box from which all life springs.  The dimensions of the bronze sculpture are: 2.15x3.80x2m.

 

‘The skeleton is built with natural materials such as jute and plaster. I have formed the shell with my hands, which allows me to give the work an emotional charge. The sculpture expresses wonder and calmness and inside one experiences a moment of reflection.’

The Origin is placed at sculpture garden Ravesteyn, Heenvliet.

Buddha belly, 2016

Bronze, 252 x 64 x 60 cm

Donated to the Daan Theeuwes Centre for Intensive Neurorehabilitation, Woerden,

The Netherlands  2019.

The Jatropha Podagrica, also known as the Buddha belly plant, gradually grows towards the light from its characteristically rounded stem.

 

Large bright green leaves, sometimes accompanied by an annual flower, triumphantly spring from the heart throughout its steady growth. The Buddha belly is therefore a fitting symbol for the vision that this exceptional clinic has about rehabilitation.
