The line is the beginning of everything. Time and again Marlies tries to capture the sensuality of a form or a stilled motion in her work. In order not to create any distraction or whatsoever, the objects in most cases retain their natural coloring. Only rarely will an object be covered with a thin layer of engobe or glaze, so that nothing will draw the attention away from the suppleness of form and line.
