About 'Make it yourself'

'Make it yourself’ deals with the concept of time. This concept allows us in a personal way to empathize with the images. It plays the idea that we find in the history the dying, but also the narrative. To escape time we can only imagine the timeless. We cannot change or manipulate time, but just imagine. In ‘ Make it yourself’ in the sculptures have been given an idea, or a given time. The more than 90 sculptures of 'Make it yourself' are made from natural stone. Some are painted or silkscreened. Kim The Ruysscher works with traditional sculptural techniques and traditional material and connects these historical aspects with contemporary spirit. So he materializes a period and inertia. The presented sculptures from ‘Make it yourself’ carry a reticence to entail, the time in which the future fulfillment of a work has not yet been determined, but the past is already over. Thus we see a drawing block, building blocks, a bag of plaster, wood blocks, paint tubes or paper. Apart from the past and present the works of 'Make it yourself' also focuses on the future.
