Miek Zwamborn
Miek Zwamborn (1974) is a Dutch author, artist and ranger based on the Scottish Isle of Mull. Through installations, performances, books and photography, Zwamborn imbues her source material with a rigorous sense of subjective and the speculative. In this way, her work not only traces the lives of her subjects but her own experiences as a researcher and writer. Each work claims its own place within the story, becoming an indispensable branch of the greater rhizome.
Zwamborn has published the novels Oploper (2000) and Vallend Hout (2004), the poetry book Het krieken van sepia (2008), De duimsprong (2013) and seaweed anthology Wieren (2018). Her work has been translated into German and Swedish.
