Marlou Breuls’ / House of rubber’s practice investigates the intersections between the
human body, objects, and materials, driven by curiosity, experimentation, and a deep
engagement with craft. Her work transcends conventional categories, merging elements of
sculpture, fashion, and objects into tactile, immersive, and intuitive forms. Breuls embraces
hands-on exploration, valuing happy accidents and unforeseen outcomes as central to the
creation of her work.
Her objects explore human plasticity and the fusion of body and material, inviting physical
engagement and sensory interaction. Through the transformation of everyday materials
such as rubber, textiles, clay, and porcelain, she challenges expectations, stimulates
curiosity, and questions notions of function, fragility, and resilience. Each piece navigates
the tension between control and improvisation, precision and play, creating forms that are
simultaneously humorous, absurd, and thought-provoking.
Breuls’ process emphasizes material experimentation and sculptural thinking, blending
technical skill with intuitive exploration. Her work provokes interaction, engages the
senses, and redefines how objects can embody human presence, narrative, and emotion.
Across her practice, Breuls establishes a dialogue between tradition, experimentation, and
contemporary approaches, producing objects that surprise, delight, and invite reflection.
Her work expands the possibilities of form and material, offering new perspectives on the
relationship between body, object, and space.
