Liesje van den Berk creates in intimate drawings, installations, interventions and performances on paper and in public space a connection between the individual, the collective and the environment. She investigates the relationship between drawing, body and environment, using sensory experience. The physical and sensitive aspects (such as movement, sound and tactility) are important starting points in both the approach to her subjects and in the drawing itself.

For Liesje van den Berk, walking is getting to know the environment through the senses. The flapping of the wind, the crackling, tapping and rolling stones under her feet, the rustling of the plants against her legs or the soggy, soggy marshiness of the path, always require different lines on the paper, from thin, sharp staccato lines to thick strokes. She draws and writes these experiences directly on paper during the walk.

Walking is a way to experience the richness of your environment and make contact with each other. During the walks you will discover new nature, images, places and stories about your neighborhood by looking and listening.
