From November 25 to January 18, my solo exhibition Vivian Ammerlaan in de Rocky Mountains is on view at Singer Laren. The presentation is part of the John & Marine van Vlissingen Art Foundation Prize, which I was honoured to receive.

The cyanotypes on view there have more frayed edges than my earlier work. They bear traces of my hands, of the sun, and of chance. Of letting go of control. They are new Waanplekken (Places of Illusory), constructed with familiar materials in my studio and then photographed. I had these images printed as large negatives and then used the sun to print them on paper, using the cyanotype technique. Finally, I colored the works in a bath of coffee and tea. The final works were framed with great craftsmanship by goedman+ooms in a specially designed cherry wood frame.

The exhibition photos were taken by Jacqueline Fuijkschot, who beautifully captured the presentation.
