This work is about how we were confined to our homes during the COVID-19 lockdown in the spring and fall of 2020. Each of us on our own island. Challenging times, both for ourselves and in our relationships with one another.
“Living on an Island”
Because that’s what we did. Some of us coped with the isolation better than others. Was it wonderfully quiet, or did it bring feelings of torment and imprisonment? The traces are still there.
I created this artwork in 2020, using recycled plexiglass, right in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. It features all kinds of people, expressing a range of emotions. In 2021, right between two lockdowns, I was able to exhibit it. I still remember the relief, it felt like things were back to normal for a moment.
This artwork was displayed in the medieval church in Hollum during the Ameland Art Route. When people read what it was about, there was a moment of silence.
Ameland Art Month 2021
The seven large wallsculptures were on display together for the first time during Ameland Art Month, at the NH Church in Hollum, in November. 2021. As part of the tour, I had a solo exhibition of my recycled art in the church. I’m still grateful for that, it looked beautiful and respectful.
