My paintings are about observing people in the public space. It’s the body language, the movement and group-dynamics that I find interesting. Body language shows personality, desire, boredom, belonging, doubt. In the public space people create natural compositions. I like this dynamic, this part of humanity. My paintings are about seeing, understanding and combining people in a storytelling composition.

Street-art/graffiti gives my work the opportunity to have a direct interaction with people in the public space, to act like a mirror. I come from a background in sculpture, photography and film. For more info click here.

STRAAT Museum collaboration: Double Shift: Unexpected Encounter (For more info see instagram)

Mack approaches the street as an observer. Drawing from photography, sculpture, and film, she studies the subtle choreography of people moving through public space. Using hand-cut stencils, posters, and text-based works, she transforms fleeting encounters into anonymous yet familiar figures. Her work invites reflection on human behaviour, connection, and the direction of contemporary society, while bringing the visual language of street advertising into the exhibition space.

Ultimate Selfie van de Ziel @ndsmfuse july-oct groupshow:

The painting for this exhibition of Selfie van de Ziel explores the minimalism of stenciling, how little do we need to see for the brain to still create a coherent image. A minimalist composition of a group of women painted over a written text. For Mack writing about her own work is a way to strengthen her inner dialogue. Mack: “I write not using full sentences but a flow of unpunctuated or disjointed words that describe and question my perspective on life.” Seeing the potential and the poetic quality she decided to use the texts in her work. The painting “Imagine” explores the meaning of observation, knowledge and expression based on the question: when to speak up and when to stay silent:
To see, observe, understand, ignore (when)? Imagine, create, expand. Clarity, certainty, sanity. Madness, destruction, destroy. NEVER never ask why. Question? Don’t. Continue. Go on!
Eyes closed, ears shut.

“Between People” gaat over hoe we tot elkaar verhouden in de publieke ruimte en de dagelijkse omgang tussen mensen. Het grootste gedeelte van onze tijd bevinden we ons tussen de mensen. We zijn continue bezig deze interacties, onze communicatie en verwachtingen te begrijpen en een plek te geven. “Between People” laat mijn fascinatie zien voor de onderlinge verhoudingen, lichaamstaal en dynamiek tussen mensen. In mijn schilderijen neem ik de tijd menselijke interacties te observeren en bewust te worden van de dynamiek van het leven.
