Archipelago
book and 11 brooches; 2004; simili japon paper, binding, silver; 27x27x1cm
A fixed image of islands floating still around each other on a calm sea of paper, a book : a place of memory, a place to go back to.
And a free floating movement, islands worn away from their out coming place, islands running around the wanderings of life, islands independently looking for their sea.
History-grown, a recipient of stories, a mental landscape.
This work was commissionned by the collector Claartje Keur in collaboration with Nel Linssen.
