'Creating jewellery, objects and taking photographs, are not so much a goal for me as they are a way of expressing the emotions and feelings deep inside of me. They are a process of consciousness and a form of communication. I have no kind of target group that I would direct my work to. I just want to make it possible for the people who like my work to be able to buy it. That’s why I make as well ‘multiples’ and try to keep them as profitable as possible. You could say that I am reaching my goal by doing what I love to do, by a non-verbal communication, a love that can be shared with others.'

Birgit Laken's work has been featured in the Netherlands and internationally in both group and solo exhibitions. Her work is in the collections of the Museum voor Moderne Kunst, Arnhem, the Frans Hals Museum, Haarlem, the Cooper Hewitt Museum in New York, among others.
