Pattern I

2019 – 180 x 45 x 45 – Plaster and metal

Pattern I  shows an abstract pattern, made by casts of the male knee. It’s a sculpture that explores how the base construction can merge into the surrounding area. The outline almost becomes a drawing and functions as a blank canvas for a subtle projection.

This work appears as an abstract pattern, until you notice that it’s completely build with prints of the artists hands.

Wenteling

2017- 2018 – 160 x 30 x 30 – Colored plaster and wax

The layers of colour and the vibrant base refer to a world of its own, until you discover the traces of the human body.

Construction

2017 – 15 x 7 x 5 – wood and colored plaster

Construction is a little piece of the human body, held by a man-made construction.
But of course, also the human body is a construction of the artist.

Afdruk

2018 – 110 x 70 x 45 – Plaster and metal

Sculpture accompanied by a drawing on silk paper on a metal and plexiglass display. 
Afdruk explores tactility. Fine lines, subtle colors and detailed shapes contrast with the hard iron construction.

Self-portrait – stage II

2017 – 135 x 60 x 40 – Wax and colored plaster

The self-portrait changes from a trace, a mould to a corpulent form. Both the positive form and the negative form are a complete valued state of artwork. It seems as if self-portrait in its second phase only refers to itself, but the attentive observer discovers the footprints, which are a clear reference to the existing world.

Self-portrait – stage I

2016 – 175 x 80 x 60 – Metal, fabric and plaster 

Self-portrait (stage I) is an interplay between sculpture and performance, it appears to be a construction waste bag with a mark of the human body. When does the process of creating become a work itself? How many traces of the human body are needed to recognize the past presence?

Herinnering

2016 – 165 x 100 x 55 – Perforated metal sheet


The viewer can easily recognize a human covering himself with a blanket, at the same time you can feel the void. 

The contradiction or  dialogue rises  at the level of meaning but also on the level of material.

This sculpture was realised at the university Burg Giebichenstein – Halle, Germany.

Skin

2015 – Aluminium construction of a water barrier and wax and analogue photograph 

With her sculptures, Lieze De Middeleir walks the boundary between image and reality. De Middeleir uses pieces of reality in her work in the form of casts, and by processing readymades, like the alumium construction of a water barrier. I this case, the human body is present in the analogue photograph.
