Secret paper-illustration in the making! ✂️What will it be, oh what will it be...? All shall be revealed Wednesday. 👀 By Annemarieke Kloosterhof

✂️ BTS of a very fun paper-craft illustration that will be released very soon...!👀🎲 This project was seriously Amaze-boards... (Ok that was terrible. Whoever thinks of a better Boardgame pun wins an ice-cream.. ) By Annemarieke Kloosterhof #boardgames #papercraft #bts #gamenight #sneakpeek #papercut #blue #boardgame #tbt #paperart #tiles #pattern #games

Happy International Women’s Day to all my strong, ambitious, sensitive, independent, young, weird, confident, seasoned, shy, happy, quiet, carefree, loud, supportive and powerful people with vaginas out there! 😘 Keep kicking ass... You do you boo. By Annemarieke Kloosterhof #internationalwomensday

** THE MAKING OF** ✂️ Swipe through to see my super professional setup (ahum) of recycled paper, tables covered in bin-bags and mesh frames cut from leftover curtain fabrics... 💁‍♀️Gotta make do with what you’ve got. . The inspiration for this piece came from my big-ass Anatomy encyclopaedia books, which feature over 500 hand-drawn illustrations from the 19th century, almost all of which are based on the “typical human” body.... a 30 year old white male of 1.50 meters tall.... clearly times have changed! I was surprised to see that the only time any of the anatomical illustrations were drawn fitting the physical anatomy of a woman - it was when those illustrations were explaining the surgical side of labour, how a woman gets pregnant, and how the foetus grows.... all about the womb - nothing about the woman herself! No anatomical documentation of her bones, her organs, her veins or her muscles. With this piece I wanted to take the narrative back (inside) the female body and create representation of all it’s made of : blood, tissue, muscle, fat, and veins. The piece is made completely out of torn up recycled paper... no paint or colouring dyes were involved, and it’s all made by hand. . I’m really loving the messy recycled paper-making process, and am looking to make much more of it... Maybe it’s time to invest in a proper factory setup. 😅 I might even install a paper-marbling station next! 😉 I hope you guys like it!

“The Female Anatomy” Handmade Recycled Paper!✂️ This piece is a little different than the usual paper stuff I make - but I had lots of fun experimenting with the style and “blending” different colours. I love how vibrant they turned out! 😊 The inspiration for this piece came from my big-ass Anatomy encyclopaedia books, which feature over 500 hand-drawn illustrations from the 19th century, almost all of which are based on the “typical human” body.... a 30 year old white male of 1.50 meters tall.... clearly times have changed! I was surprised to see that the only time any of the anatomical illustrations were drawn fitting the physical anatomy of a woman - it was when those illustrations were explaining the surgical side of Labour, how a woman gets pregnant, and how the foetus grows.... all about the womb - nothing about the woman herself! No anatomical documentation of her bones, her organs, her veins or her muscles. With this piece I wanted to take the narrative back (inside) the female body and create representation of all it’s made of : blood, tissue, muscle, fat, and veins. The piece is made completely out of torn up recycled paper... no paint or colouring dyes were involved, and it’s all made by hand. It was a very therapeutic process to create this piece - and I’ll be sure to post The Making Off on insta so you guys get a better understanding of how it’s build up! I hope you guys like it. 😊 By Annemarieke Kloosterhof .

New recycled-paper project! ✂️ Apologies for the long absence - I’ve been crazy busy for the past two months ... ( I have pretty much been back in my studio non-stop ever since the dust of the New Year’s fireworks touched the floor)... BUTTT... this means there’s a bunch of very exciting projects coming up, which will all be released soon. 😊 . In the mean time, I’ve been working on a bit more of an experimental project with recycled paper! I really tried to use a big range of colours this time, and blend them (quite literally 😉) together to create a really vibrant palette. I will post the finished piece shortly - but first : Happy Weekend All!!! 🙌🏼💃🏻🎉 By Annemarieke Kloosterhof .

You know those Renaissance painters who would hide say a little mouse in each of their paintings as a secret signature move...? I feel like I’m subconsciously already doing that with mini papercut bicycles in all my projects! 🚲 But look how cute though! 😊✂️ By Annemarieke Kloosterhof
