Marianne van Roode

Each piece begins with the desire to grasp what barely allows itself to be touched: an intuition, a void, a suspended fragment of time.
I work with layers and transparencies — as one might try to translate the intangible without fully naming it.

In that space between what is revealed and what is hidden, between matter and memory, unfolds the tension that draws me in.

Gesture, silence, repetition — all take part in a search that offers no fixed answers.

My work does not aim to tell a story, but to open a crack. A pause. A chance to look more slowly.
