In harmony with nature:

My work is an ode to nature. In the quiet works on paper - prints of collected flowers and branches - I look to subtly portray the depth of a spiritual meaning in nature. Every leaf, every branch I find, carries a story for me, a silent thought that I bring to life through my hands and eyes.

The elements of earth, such as clay and soil, form the base of my sculptures. They are a direct homage to the primal source of the biosphere. It is earth that nourishes us and connect us.This theme runs as an invisible thread throughout my work.

In everything I create, I search for the connection between the large and the small, between the tangible and the invisible. A constant search for the soul of nature.

DAWN

Inspired by photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto who used light as a pigment to create a new kind of painting, Herma uses the iris-print technique

to create an image of dawn. She carefully selects inks and by the act

of making an iris-print draws unexpected alluring gradations. The transformation of these gradations are suggesting timeframes of dawn and inspire the viewer to stand still for a moment. The outcomes on

print are works shrouded in mystery.

Fossil #01

A fossil, to Herma, means a legacy of lost nature. Within her work she focusses on the research of soft fossils – remains that become visible after uncovering it, layer for layer. This unfolding method inspired her to make a ‘new fossil’. The work Fossil #01 shows the vulnerability and fragility of nature casted in a hard material. Within this solid object she wants to capture the changing nature she has been observing during her life and career as an artist.
