She graduated in Fine Arts at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie Amsterdam in 2020 and completed her master in sculpture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerpen. Her practice explores abstract, organic forms that evoke the inner physicality of the human body, alongside forms and tissues inspired by the plant world. Together, these elements create an imagined whole. By combining ceramics and textiles, she contrasts the tactile qualities of her work, drawing attention to both materiality and fragility. Her sculptural installations immerse the audience in an environment that offers a glimpse into an imaginary world—one that invites curiosity about an alternative reality, where the beauty of origin coexists with the alienation of new life and the impermanence of existence. &nbsp;︎ &nbsp;Contact:&nbsp;taraevakw@gmail.com&nbsp;+31612211277 https://taraevakw.com/Home Wed, 07 Sep 2022 11:19:25 +0000 taraevakw.com https://taraevakw.com/Home <img width="2126" height="1417" width_o="2126" height_o="1417" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9ab20b89996c198fd3c8710d2ed9c01f3f21a2df780d92348d466aff5fe8796f/_SV40123_lightseed1.jpeg" data-mid="228756387" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9ab20b89996c198fd3c8710d2ed9c01f3f21a2df780d92348d466aff5fe8796f/_SV40123_lightseed1.jpeg" /> <img width="2998" height="1999" width_o="2998" height_o="1999" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0501252e692161fb7af0436971a72d51efbababf7b5c4ae06980c1057a151f78/WEB-Tara-EvaKW_SV49293-copy.jpg" data-mid="208183847" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0501252e692161fb7af0436971a72d51efbababf7b5c4ae06980c1057a151f78/WEB-Tara-EvaKW_SV49293-copy.jpg" /> <img width="5485" height="3657" width_o="5485" height_o="3657" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/62a19714a2f8e8c87f9d13fad3b94f2fcb7b2a410d6a9b22db9a6dfc4b8b6027/Dog-Days.JPG" data-mid="187595252" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/62a19714a2f8e8c87f9d13fad3b94f2fcb7b2a410d6a9b22db9a6dfc4b8b6027/Dog-Days.JPG" /> <img width="3690" height="2362" width_o="3690" height_o="2362" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1d7af7dd424323fcc93fec7c290c6544af080f8c734a9c6138d1934471bf82a4/WEB-Rebirth_SV47162.jpg" data-mid="187604717" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1d7af7dd424323fcc93fec7c290c6544af080f8c734a9c6138d1934471bf82a4/WEB-Rebirth_SV47162.jpg" /> <img width="3549" height="2362" width_o="3549" height_o="2362" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/103ff1cd80392a6a923d2fcc089469a0863749e9c4e27f4426478f0e58549d5a/KuijpersWentink2022_SV44460.jpg" data-mid="152298972" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/103ff1cd80392a6a923d2fcc089469a0863749e9c4e27f4426478f0e58549d5a/KuijpersWentink2022_SV44460.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2000" width_o="3000" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3b7624bba9cc21a847ddf3272678a2f110f810bb2b379ecb40ca12488b21d87f/WEB-TEKW_SV41929.jpg" data-mid="152299174" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3b7624bba9cc21a847ddf3272678a2f110f810bb2b379ecb40ca12488b21d87f/WEB-TEKW_SV41929.jpg" /> <img width="1876" height="1251" width_o="1876" height_o="1251" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/81eade4af652e17f2583b44d6c300c9f516c468628817b2eb9a2136ea573bb28/Dysmorfo-Object-2-3_SV46754-copy.jpg" data-mid="152306317" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/81eade4af652e17f2583b44d6c300c9f516c468628817b2eb9a2136ea573bb28/Dysmorfo-Object-2-3_SV46754-copy.jpg" /> <img width="1280" height="890" width_o="1280" height_o="890" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0998e5d1c38c8860ce086cccd196b7278cb9e3246bd26341f52a478994f6c5b5/WEB-Astra_SV44764.png" data-mid="152299439" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0998e5d1c38c8860ce086cccd196b7278cb9e3246bd26341f52a478994f6c5b5/WEB-Astra_SV44764.png" /> <img width="1280" height="852" width_o="1280" height_o="852" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e9172420e91bf882e3e54bd77a107cf153b2f49a8ce6f8096bbab4a5dc663ab7/WEB-TEKW_DSC1679-kopie.png" data-mid="152300393" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e9172420e91bf882e3e54bd77a107cf153b2f49a8ce6f8096bbab4a5dc663ab7/WEB-TEKW_DSC1679-kopie.png" /> https://taraevakw.com/MAY-MY-ROOTS-CRACK-YOU-OPEN-2024 Tue, 25 Mar 2025 08:56:22 +0000 taraevakw.com https://taraevakw.com/MAY-MY-ROOTS-CRACK-YOU-OPEN-2024 MAY MY ROOTS CRACK YOU OPEN, the debut solo exhibition of Tara-Eva Kujpers Wentink, presents an installation that emerges from a speculative future where a new, mysterious organ begins to grow on the vena cava–the largest vein connecting the liver and the heart. This enigmatic organ, called the Lumen Nodus or 'Lightseed’, is thought to arise as a response to a world where the human body has been outpaced by its complex sociological, economic, and technological demands–conditions that have ironically emerged as a result of humanity's own striving to control the world around them.As humanity faces escalating stress, confusion, and profound exhaustion, this imbalance threatens not only the survival of humankind but also the health of the planet itself. In response, the human body evolves the Lightseed—an organ believed to convert stress and trauma into energy and empathy, synthesizing heart and mind. Regarded as a gift from nature, the Lightseed could also be seen as Earth’s defense mechanism, quietly aiming toward a new equilibrium.&nbsp; Read the full speculative narrative below. <img width="2126" height="1417" width_o="2126" height_o="1417" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1c7d993b4851984ae31cedff1b1efd44ae3760ee42a5c79f125554db7d7f3e0d/_SV40124_lightseed2.jpeg" data-mid="228756469" border="0" data-scale="59" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1c7d993b4851984ae31cedff1b1efd44ae3760ee42a5c79f125554db7d7f3e0d/_SV40124_lightseed2.jpeg" /><img width="2126" height="1415" width_o="2126" height_o="1415" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/55a6b2f0584c0f82662bf50a9aceafc00943af907d524b1b8d8e85c5ed7257c0/_SV40190_overzicht1.jpeg" data-mid="228756704" border="0" data-scale="59" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/55a6b2f0584c0f82662bf50a9aceafc00943af907d524b1b8d8e85c5ed7257c0/_SV40190_overzicht1.jpeg" /><img width="2126" height="1417" width_o="2126" height_o="1417" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0cafe96ffbec86414199df85197a18fe5520bad3a36aa8583ea1d711fc11249d/_SV40283_flower2.jpeg" data-mid="228756702" border="0" data-scale="59" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0cafe96ffbec86414199df85197a18fe5520bad3a36aa8583ea1d711fc11249d/_SV40283_flower2.jpeg" />THE LIGHTSEEDAs light touches the surface of Earth’s disturbed waters, we enter a moment in time where a change begins to grow within us. Like a seed in the darkness of the soil, our cells start to form a pouch of flesh filled with light. Its first discovery was when a young woman named Elana underwent an X-ray due to ongoing chest pains. However, nothing seemed abnormal regarding her heart's health. On the X-ray image, illuminated by the lightbox in the sterile treatment room, a small white dot appeared on the vena cava artery. This artery is responsible for carrying purified blood from the liver to the heart. The dot was not meant to be there. This was the beginning. The small white dot grew larger, transforming into an amorphous shape with twisted roots. Tests were conducted on those who experienced unexplained symptoms, leading to the discovery of more people carrying this unknown organ. Eventually, a baby was born with the organ already nestled in its tiny chest, as if it had always been a part of us. People were scared, but also felt like something important was happening. Scientists and philosophers came together to uncover why this new organ was beginning to grow inside people’s bodies all over the world, regardless of their background, gender, or ethnicity. The Lumen Nodus, or “Lightseed”, became the name given to the unknown organ. The debate was heated, and there was no consensus regarding its function or how it came into existence. At the same time, minor changes seemed to develop in the world that people had known. The theories circulated quickly. Ecologists speculated that the organ's origin was due to a lack of oxygen in the air, resulting from the disappearance of forests and the absence of flora in our urban environments. Medical doctors believed it was a consequence of the prevalence of processed foods, which had replaced nutrient-rich options. Neuroscientists hypothesized that the small pouch formed due to overstimulation of the brain, caused by the overwhelming nature of the online environment. A remarkable explanation came from a team of biologists, social scientists and philosophers. They argued that humanity was being outpaced by the sociological, economic, and technological conditions it had brought into existence, due to its drive to control the world. As the world grew more complex, confusion and exhaustion set in, causing individuals to become more self-centered and rigid in their thinking, which became an evolutionary disadvantage. Their disconnection with reality and society resulted in behavior that accelerated societal and ecological breakdown. In the team’s view, the evolution of the Lightseed was a way of the natural world–for Earth itself–to adjust to the current condition, guiding humanity toward a new equilibrium. Not necessarily by enlightening people on an intellectual level, but by reuniting thought and feeling, critical analysis and empathy–by synthesizing the heart and mind. Despite the promise of change, misinformation quickly spread, claiming the new organ was either a malignant tumor or a tool for authoritarian regimes to exert control over the population. As rumors swirled, fear and paranoia took root in communities around the world. Driven by this growing anxiety, some sought drastic measures, opting for risky surgeries to remove the Lightseed. But in doing so, they often found their anxiety, confusion, and exhaustion only deepened, leaving people more disconnected from themselves and each other. Amid this turmoil, Elana—the first known carrier of the Lightseed—began to sense subtle shifts unfolding within herself. In the midst of growing complexity and uncertainty, she felt a quiet, yet powerful sense of calm. Instead of succumbing to helplessness or indifference, Elana began to see the world with a clearer vision, feeling both empowered and profoundly connected to those around her. She began to gather others who, like her, had discovered their new organ and were beginning to experience similar alterations within themselves. Though the changes in the world around them were still barely perceptible, Elana couldn’t help but wonder if the transformation they were experiencing were part of something larger, something that could eventually shift the course of human existence and Earth itself. Within her chest, Elana felt the warm, rhythmic pounding of something new. <img width="1417" height="2126" width_o="1417" height_o="2126" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5dc2e1c9f61faa6ec49f298eee2a15ccf9d736715c433362c2937b80f46a7518/_SV40118_lightseed3.jpeg" data-mid="228757458" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5dc2e1c9f61faa6ec49f298eee2a15ccf9d736715c433362c2937b80f46a7518/_SV40118_lightseed3.jpeg" /> <img width="1417" height="2126" width_o="1417" height_o="2126" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/120af0669f5db3983fc6e5b0a8ee7efe9add930e7ffca8e900fbbfe559b91a2c/_SV40135_ceramictextile4.jpeg" data-mid="228757457" border="0" data-scale="64" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/120af0669f5db3983fc6e5b0a8ee7efe9add930e7ffca8e900fbbfe559b91a2c/_SV40135_ceramictextile4.jpeg" /> <img width="1284" height="2126" width_o="1284" height_o="2126" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ca9c1d6a2aef87986f5bf73c2b53952187cf48022b4ad0fecb205e8449c93f61/_SV40156_ceramictextile3.jpeg" data-mid="228757456" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ca9c1d6a2aef87986f5bf73c2b53952187cf48022b4ad0fecb205e8449c93f61/_SV40156_ceramictextile3.jpeg" /> <img width="1417" height="2126" width_o="1417" height_o="2126" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/90a069c120d3bc302aa267c069f772225474866790905618de7dc8d08086cda2/_SV40170_wandwerk2.jpeg" data-mid="228757455" border="0" data-scale="33" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/90a069c120d3bc302aa267c069f772225474866790905618de7dc8d08086cda2/_SV40170_wandwerk2.jpeg" /> <img width="1415" height="2126" width_o="1415" height_o="2126" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9fc2bea5dc175f86409fac54d7c75a5899cf5c7a455b26eb6e75aeaf02cf7c22/_SV40209_heartfountain2.jpeg" data-mid="228757454" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9fc2bea5dc175f86409fac54d7c75a5899cf5c7a455b26eb6e75aeaf02cf7c22/_SV40209_heartfountain2.jpeg" /> <img width="1415" height="2126" width_o="1415" height_o="2126" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/19fe2888a88ddf9ac7149bd572fc0051ce36a9d468851f8e9afe5e36a4af0119/_SV40261_Wandwerk.jpg" data-mid="228756703" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/19fe2888a88ddf9ac7149bd572fc0051ce36a9d468851f8e9afe5e36a4af0119/_SV40261_Wandwerk.jpg" /> &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Exhibition was made possible by Mondriaanfonds. https://taraevakw.com/Sting-of-Poison-2023 Thu, 21 Mar 2024 14:57:20 +0000 taraevakw.com https://taraevakw.com/Sting-of-Poison-2023 Sting of Poison 2023, UNFAIR AMSTERDAM&nbsp;Sting of Poison is part of a series of two sculptures embodying the largest flower in the world: the Rafflesia Arnoldii.

This sculptural installation refers to the deconstruction and abstraction of the components of a human body. By approaching the concept of a body as a shell or casing that carries many separate yet interconnected objects, these objects take on their own form and story. I have translated the fragmented aspects of the body into abstracted and absurd representations of the organs, tissues, or bone structures they truly are. This installation invites the audience to immerse themselves in an environment that encourages curiosity about an alternative world, absurd forms, and diverse materials. textile, wool, ceramics, acrylic1, gyproc, spraypaint, fish pump. <img width="3549" height="2362" width_o="3549" height_o="2362" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7200c1935d752fad23db353a7af994f953970422cb12466c9a2fc0a0ccf818f6/KuijpersWentink2022_SV44463.jpg" data-mid="152303093" border="0" data-scale="59" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7200c1935d752fad23db353a7af994f953970422cb12466c9a2fc0a0ccf818f6/KuijpersWentink2022_SV44463.jpg" /> <img width="3544" height="2362" width_o="3544" height_o="2362" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5006972baee255f86c0a0a31fa27f198fef1a3321785c536f366820ed40e7259/KuijpersWentink2022_SV44481.jpg" data-mid="152303100" border="0" data-scale="59" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5006972baee255f86c0a0a31fa27f198fef1a3321785c536f366820ed40e7259/KuijpersWentink2022_SV44481.jpg" /> <img width="3544" height="2362" width_o="3544" height_o="2362" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2f939ac7e729696289e9f8bd748032f45b740336440ce3de0c22f981edc3b31b/KuijpersWentink2022_SV44485.jpg" data-mid="152303102" border="0" data-scale="59" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2f939ac7e729696289e9f8bd748032f45b740336440ce3de0c22f981edc3b31b/KuijpersWentink2022_SV44485.jpg" /><img width="2362" height="3543" width_o="2362" height_o="3543" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/db10e71eac4051677a69bca54d534cc84293d1e67e3326d30b3f487d8b58dd66/KuijpersWentink2022_SV44493.jpg" data-mid="152303129" border="0" data-scale="59" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/db10e71eac4051677a69bca54d534cc84293d1e67e3326d30b3f487d8b58dd66/KuijpersWentink2022_SV44493.jpg" /> https://taraevakw.com/Rebirth-of-the-Corpse-Flower-2022 Thu, 10 Aug 2023 10:08:58 +0000 taraevakw.com https://taraevakw.com/Rebirth-of-the-Corpse-Flower-2022 &nbsp; &nbsp; Rebirth of the Corpse Flower (2022)&nbsp; &nbsp; Shown at Marres Maastricht as part of the groupshow Currents#10: Choose Your Own Story. &nbsp; &nbsp; Material: ceramics, natural painted cotton textile, sheepwool, acrylic1, spraypaint en auquarium pump. <img width="2362" height="3544" width_o="2362" height_o="3544" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a12bc39e18f87a32081c2c42a3029fab8b42bcf2716c0869940c838a7e507cf1/RebirthoftheCorpseFlower.jpeg" data-mid="187593781" border="0" data-scale="39" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a12bc39e18f87a32081c2c42a3029fab8b42bcf2716c0869940c838a7e507cf1/RebirthoftheCorpseFlower.jpeg" /> <img width="2362" height="3532" width_o="2362" height_o="3532" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/716b736eafacfedf5fcf27a4dc46244372cfa152fd41ebc09113903cc9913dc7/IMG_5501-1.JPG" data-mid="187594904" border="0" data-scale="39" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/716b736eafacfedf5fcf27a4dc46244372cfa152fd41ebc09113903cc9913dc7/IMG_5501-1.JPG" /> https://taraevakw.com/Carrier-I-and-Carrier-II-2022 Wed, 07 Sep 2022 12:47:26 +0000 taraevakw.com https://taraevakw.com/Carrier-I-and-Carrier-II-2022 Daemons always ask nicely - Blikfabriek 2022 Carrier I and Carrier II (2022) ceramics, waxed cotton thread, textile and wool. <img width="3000" height="2000" width_o="3000" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3b7624bba9cc21a847ddf3272678a2f110f810bb2b379ecb40ca12488b21d87f/WEB-TEKW_SV41929.jpg" data-mid="152303810" border="0" data-scale="47" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3b7624bba9cc21a847ddf3272678a2f110f810bb2b379ecb40ca12488b21d87f/WEB-TEKW_SV41929.jpg" />Untitled (2022) ceramics, textile, tube. <img width="2000" height="3000" width_o="2000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1cb5e45ebcc5d73499abb14838aa3ca2b3adbc63bdaf4d2e64168f84995767e6/WEB-TEKW_SV41943.jpg" data-mid="152303886" border="0" data-scale="46" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1cb5e45ebcc5d73499abb14838aa3ca2b3adbc63bdaf4d2e64168f84995767e6/WEB-TEKW_SV41943.jpg" /> https://taraevakw.com/Astra-II-2021 Wed, 07 Sep 2022 11:02:14 +0000 taraevakw.com https://taraevakw.com/Astra-II-2021 Astra II (2021) Astra II&nbsp; was presented at the ALL INN exhibiton in Het HEM in Zaandam.&nbsp;Astra is a translation of a body made into a sculptural installation. The constructing of a body resulted in the use of hard en soft materials that were transformed into a dialogue of fragmented organic shapes, patterns and sculptures. This installation communicates the mystery and beauty of our inner and outer physical life. The question of new life, fertility and death. The patterns and shapes refer to growth, the natural color palette represents the biological tissue of the body and the materials forms in a natural way from my body and hands. Astra features a body-to-body relationship. The relationship between both artist and art piece and viewer and art piece, making the viewer an essential participant in the installation. The triangle construction of the installation represents the cave, the house and the uterus.glazed and fired clay, textile, wood, sand. <img width="1280" height="890" width_o="1280" height_o="890" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0998e5d1c38c8860ce086cccd196b7278cb9e3246bd26341f52a478994f6c5b5/WEB-Astra_SV44764.png" data-mid="152297620" border="0" data-scale="59" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0998e5d1c38c8860ce086cccd196b7278cb9e3246bd26341f52a478994f6c5b5/WEB-Astra_SV44764.png" /> <img width="1280" height="858" width_o="1280" height_o="858" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/920b68132be06ecade44b745970db172800935f74169fd0f881ca0d3220d5add/WEB-Astra_SV44886.png" data-mid="152297623" border="0" data-scale="59" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/920b68132be06ecade44b745970db172800935f74169fd0f881ca0d3220d5add/WEB-Astra_SV44886.png" /> <img width="1280" height="854" width_o="1280" height_o="854" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d9e65fccda5170884acc894e0129615962a3d3d9b2e35ef2be9511f47b3748fe/WEB-Astra_SV44807.png" data-mid="152297621" border="0" data-scale="59" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d9e65fccda5170884acc894e0129615962a3d3d9b2e35ef2be9511f47b3748fe/WEB-Astra_SV44807.png" />
