Before attending the exhibition I looked up the artwork and the concepts behind the pieces on the Karin Janssen website. I was immediately drawn to the creepiness of Chiho Iwase's sculptures and this interest was furthered when I read about how the pieces are a representation of her own unease within her, and the conflict between maturity and immaturity. When I visited the exhibition I thought the puppet sculpture would be something you could find in a horror-comedy, like 'Thing' from 'The Adams Family'.

At first glance of Edith Meijing's paintings I was unsure of what to think. Without a doubt the bright colours were enticing, but the scale of the images made it difficult to define and so had to move closer to them. Slowly I began to appreciate the technique of how to use soft brush strokes effectively. After reading about them I became interested in how they represent "mankind's psychological condition" as well as the effect of social normality on the "condition".
