About the artist
APTUM
Lamps that subdivide like trees, glassware that illuminates without electricity, glowing lines in a space: the fantastic world of Aptum emerges from the collaboration and chemistry between Tineke Beunders and Nathan Wierink.
Tineke likes to imagine things just a little bit differently to the way they are by fantasising new functions for them, largely ignoring any practical or technical restrictions. Often these things are in a form that seems impossible – until Nathan becomes involved. He sets to work in a workshop that has come to resemble a laboratory. When he emerges again, Tineke’s ideas turn out to be feasible after all.
The duo works under the name APTUM, which means adaptable.
