Biografie Milena Anna Bouma’s sculptural practice consists of a research after the status of domesticity, utensils and living phenomena within our world. Her work is suggestive an appears in existing shapes and mundane references, often involving the animalistic image. Her prismatic choice of materials tries to grasp liveliness by either mimicking or combining ambiguous materials and objects. Elements are reproduced, molded, enlarged or translated into new entities, more often involving ceramics and other traditional techniques such as glass. Bouma’s recent works have a deepened interest in bringing ancient or contemporary narratives to life, considering excavated objects and present-day household materials as communicators of life and by doing so, she tries to create a portal to a different world.
