About the artwork:
During Covid I explored and got to know my neighbourhood in the northern part of the Netherlands even better than before. On one of my walks I discovered an abandoned greenhouse that used to belong to an old horticultural school. I spent many hours there, contemplating, reminiscing and observing how growth and decay went hand in hand. What happens if nature takes over? Art remains. It inspired me to make new work using old photographic techniques: cyanotype and lumen. I decided to give my work back to nature and the greenhouse that was such an inspiration, so the incidental wanderer could enjoy, wonder, question or be inspired by it. At the end of the process I made digital representations of my work in this context.
