Last lockdown, I started painting oysters. I asked each oyster:

What do you want to tell me?

How much water did flow through you? You are so different to the other oysters.

I worked on each oyster more then 3 hours. Sometimes I poured watery blue ink in it.

Letting it dry. Concentrating on the new blue sea I made a new painting in the oyster, sometimes writing a letter of love.

Looking for a pearl. My name Margriet (Margaretha) means pearl

Hiding to heal.
