Marjolijn Mandersloot is graduated in 1988 at the Academy of Industrial Design Eindhoven (currently known as the Design Academy Eindhoven). In her work, she uses a great variety of materials, such as leather, wool felt and bronze. The recognizable human or animal figures are an important source of inspiration, however, their main purpose is to serve as a metaphor. Ambiguity represses recognisability and invites the viewer to observe differently. The works of the artist have already been on display at various solo and group exhibitions. Her works can be found in numerous private and public collections, for example at the VUmc Art collection Amsterdam or Houthoff Buruma Art collection.
