Great heaven, 2019

Ludamus III

2019, 125 x 166.4 cm / 47 x 62.6 cm
Last winter, I visited the exhibition ‘Pure Rubens’ in the Boymans van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam and found myself inspired by Rubens’ oil sketch of Psyche Taken Up into Olympus.  Unlike Rubens I am all for the idea of a woman as god and creator!
 
My new series ‘Ludamus’, Latin for ‘Let’s Play’, came into existence.  I long for divine, voluptuous goddesses flying to heaven. I engaged dancers, who could watch their movements on the screen during the shoot. Working that directly and in the moment, created a burst of playful energy, as you can see.
