VICTORIA VERBAAN

My ideas come through making, doing and practicing - you cannot search for inspiration. When you realize the ideas that form in your mind, and you become free to lose yourself in what you're doing - that's exciting and inspiring and that is when you create. I am forever looking at what's happening around me, observing and reading people, faces, peculiar and unexpected things. Anything can spark a thought - the shop front window at Bergdorf Goodman, to stepping on a bug. I call the work/creative process my 'ordered jungle'. I am spontaneous and a risk taker and I tend to work fast. I do what I enjoy doing.
