Zwaantje Kurpershoek is a visual artist who primarily makes sculptures and objects, but also uses drawing, text and video in her practice. In her work the boundary between the rational and the irrational is observed as she plays with connections between very unlikely and specific sources, such as rules, governing movement in board games, anime characters, vermin and swimming horses.
