She makes beautiful sculptures of the kind that make you want to touch them. Torsos, animals and abstract works in stone. For Dorine Dekkers, sculpting is a bit like keeping a diary. ‘Sculpting is a kind of mirror for your feelings. The process is often more important than the sculpture that comes out of it.’ You can take a peek at the diary at www.dorine-dekkers-beelden.nl.
