A walk in the early morning. Never alone
winter reflection
What’s hidden, and reappears in spring? It’s winter, a season of winter reflection for an artist. And winter is a time for making plans for the new year.
December has always been a rather hectic period for me, energetic, social, full of movement, and just a little overwhelming. This year, however, feels different. It feels much more like a creative rest period.
different phase
Of course, I step into action when needed, for example in caring for my mother or attending to family matters. But painting and creating are on hold for a moment. This is a different phase. Something else is needed now: looking back, reflecting.
This pause is part of my practice as a contemporary Dutch female artist, where presence and attention shape the work as much as making does.
