Courage & Confidence

Dyptich Lef/ Guts.   2015-2025 Twice 219 x 49 cm Ink on Fuji Chrystal Archive photo print

I started my flower series after seeing an exhibition of Dutch still lifes at the Rijksmuseum in 1999. During the pandemic, I’ve been through a difficult period of intense reflection and writing. I started writing, painting and sketching on proofs and developed a whole new way of working. I discovered old prints who wanted to come out of the stock.

Our Dutch golden age flower paintings need a new story.  I write, paint, and draw. I throw ink. I write with white ink. The patriarchal colonial system needs to change.
Photography means “writing with light” in Greek. I want to bring stories to light and spread light.

For this diptych, I poured diluted white ink over two Waterfall prints and pressed them together. The liquid left organic traces, like underground mushroom networks.
