Nicole Driessens and Ivo van den Baar are two Dutch artists who work together under the name WANDSCHAPPEN. Since 1999 they develope artworks and artprojects, in which they carry out concepts that connect elements of the surrounding, the needs of the constituent and their own images. Every location or situation can be the source of a new artwork. Sometimes the works are temporary, sometimes they are permanent, always connected to the fysical and social elements of the location.
Their work is firmly connected to techniques of handcrafts.
They often use natural forms such as altitude lines, growth of plants, blown up parts of the human body or scientific material and they translate these elements into a new context. The process of developing a work is as important as the resulting artwork.
Because of her autonomous position art is capable of inserting new visions and carry these out in universal images.
