Iris van Herpen

  • Experimental materials
  • Sculptural construction

Iris van Herpen’s work brings experimental structures into a dialogue with the dressed body. The museum objects here range from an open polyamide ensemble credited with manufacturer Materialise, through a dress made with Jólan van der Wiel, to the layered Physalia.
