Mik Bakker's (NL, 1997) work moves between different disciplines, from sculpture, to furniture design and architecture. She sees these as connected and in constant dialogue. The return to the essence of a craft is central to Bakker's work, which always looks for raw and original materials, and tries to avoid unnecessary actions. Thus, she searches for the basic form of objects and spaces in her environment. For example, through her neighbor in France, carpenter Eric Faisant, she became fascinated with sawhorses, an object she is currently exploring in multiple ways in her sculptures.
