Lieselot Versteeg (Beverwijk, The Netherlands, 1990) shows five works that are part of her Tools for Dispersion and Techniques for Accumulation. For Coin-holes she perforated small plates of brass. Versteeg sees the perforations as metaphors for the power of the symbol that a coin represents. By accumulating a symbol it gains power. This importance of repetition is also visible in Versteeg’s Nets, a seemingly semi-functional structure, reminiscent of a piece of jewellery because of the use of antique glass beads. By using recognizable materials in an unusual way, Versteeg questions their symbolic value.
