A collection of works by Dutch artist Machtelld Rullens. The work, which uses the walls, is made by collecting cardboard boxes and gently rubbing them with color and resin, stacking them like mouths that do not close, or by closing them to hide the interior. Although he has a strong connection to these paintings, he has continued to create works using sculptural elements that rarely use brushes.

This is the author's first collection of works, and includes over 60 works, along with photos of friends, family, mysterious objects and travel. They are recorded with the same analog camera, as if to fill the boundary between art and everyday life, and sometimes collaged photos are arranged.

Machteld Rullens (b. 1988, the Hague, Netherlands) gathers cardboard boxes, gently rubs them with color and resin, and stacks them, their flaps agape like unshut mouths or closed, hiding their interiors just so. Full of emptying, Rullens’ debut artist book, presents over sixty of her humdrum wall-works alongside photographs of friends, family, curious objects, and far-off travels. Art and every day life are documented with the same analogue camera, smudge the line therebetween—if there every was one. Essay by Andrew Berardini.
