Illustration Design student Iris ter Horst travelling with her vase
If you are walking through Antwerp soon and see an artist working on the street, you may encounter Iris ter Horst, a student of Illustration Design at the Academy of Art & Design in Zwolle! Indebuurt Zwolle encountered the third-year student as she boarded the train with her vase. ‘I made this myself,’ she says proudly.
Illustration Design is a programme that offers a great deal of freedom in terms of form, ranging from animation and photography to – in Iris's case – ceramics. The Illustration Design programme goes far beyond traditional illustration. Students are challenged to find their own unique, authentic visual language. In addition, there is a strong focus on research and personal motivation.
In Iris's case, this has led her to use her vase to explore how people react to art being created in a public space. ‘I want to finish my vase in a busy place, so that the surroundings become part of the story I want to tell.’
