Movement is central to Bastiaanssen's work. Bastiaansen has explored the many problems associated with the use of porcelain. This might be of some interest to Maeve, Zarah or Danielle as her chosen medium is porcelain.

Rebecca Nelemans, an Art Historian, captures the essence of Paula Bastiaansen’s work with the following words:
‘This tactile seduction is swept away by the awareness that any touch would be too rude, too brute for this egg-shell-thin object.
It is exactly that fragility that heightens the spectator’s feeling that he is catching a glimpse of infinity.’ (source: http://www.paulabastiaansen.com/work/unica/unica.html)
