Lieve Prins (1948-2019) is not just my name-mate; my father learned the name Lieve through her, so I am secretly named after her a bit :). I recognise a lot of myself in her methods. During my time at the academy, her work was recommended to me at a time when I made over 200 copies in a short time and compiled a book from them. I strive to apply her same approach, energy, experimentation and research within a specific medium, in my own practice, especially in my approach to the bronze casting process. In addition, I am a big fan of her use of animals in 'Dance of the Maenads'.
