'As
the title suggests with its reference to mud being fundamental for the
growth of the lotus, the exhibition engages in a conversation on
transformation, procreation and fecundity, all elements traditionally
ascribed to the idea of the feminine.
Experimenting with collages
and unique hand-coloured pieces, Sassen creates images in which
abstraction and performance intertwine. In this evocative and imaginary
realm of intense colour and textures, the imagery is rich with
associative references that allow for layered readings and responses.
Very little is what it seems at first sight.
Dense clusters of
fungi and spores are reminiscent of the proliferating living cells.
Organic materials such as eggs, milk, flowers and natural dyes are
prominent in the imagery of female figures, enhancing a sense of their
sinuosity in the natural world. Her new works also include seemingly
abstract compositions: mundane objects and apparently incidental motifs
are transformed with collage, filters and streaks of pigment to the
point of where their original forms lie unrecognisable below Sassen’s
interventions'.
