"When I finished art school, I thought I was going to do monumental sculpture, big works, and I did for a while. But what I started loving the most-actually always loved the most-was the start, where you figure out what you want to say."
"Color is one of the main things I do now. It's quite an adventure, though-it's not easy to bring color into sculpture and that's why you don't see it much."
"I just try things. And it's very much about intuition, which is my main love. With polymer, I never know what's going to happen."
Bolhuis emphasizes the importance of the initial creative stage in sculpture, where ideas take shape without a predetermined plan. He initially pursued monumental works but discovered a passion for smaller pieces that allow for deeper exploration. The introduction of polymer clay transformed his approach, enabling him to incorporate color and spontaneity into his work. This medium fosters a playful environment, allowing him to experiment and rely on intuition, which he considers essential to his artistic process.
