Gina Van Der Ploeg
B. 1994
Gina van der Ploeg (b. 1994) is a sculptor, fibre artist, and farmer based in Cape Town.
Graduating from Michaelis Fine Art School (2017) with an award-winning body of work, Van der Ploeg's art is also informed by her studies in Religious Studies at the University of Cape Town and her involvement with non-profits like Our Workshop.
Her work explores the materiality and ecology of objects, textiles, and plants in shaping ideas of the natural and human. She has exhibited and attended residencies internationally, continuing to develop her practice through collaboration and site-specific work, with a duo exhibition scheduled in Japan for October 2024.
