Brabant Biennale 1985

An excellent source is the catalogue of the 1985 Brabant Biennale: 




It contains two works by Marlies and a rare quote about whether she sees herself as a visual artist or a ceramist (p. 14):




I am indeed interested in all things visual. But I don't believe I am a visual artist. I don't want to have that pretence. Besides, ceramics can cover a very broad spectrum.


Untitled, 1984 (p. 74)


Untitled, 1985 (p. 75)

The catalogue also contains her home address (Spoorstraat 148, 4811 BH Breda) and the most complete list of exhibitions I have seen so far (p.74):

Solo exhibition:
