Hanka Wolterstorff, who moved to Suriname from the Netherlands in 1966, is driven by the urge to create something she considers beautiful. Her identity, which has become mainly Surinamese and yes, even Alakondre…, is interwoven into every composition that she intuitively creates. The graceful curves and extended tips of her ceramic sculptures, occasionally combined with elements of Surinamese wood are always reflective of the tropical nature that surrounds her.
