Waanplekken 8-10 (2017)

Inspired by analogue landscape photography and charcoal drawings, I created these three individual works which together show a view of a coast landscape. This triptych draws from my memories of the English coast, particularly the area around Falmouth, near Cliff Road. The varied interpretations in each piece highlight the multifaceted nature of the location.

My series Waanplekken (Illusory Places) consists of impressions of landscapes that I form using photography and the use of everyday materials. With this ongoing project, initiated in 2015, I seek ways to give image to memories and imaginations of overwhelming nature and the sublime.

The landscapes that inspire me are of an extraordinary beauty that transcends visual depiction. This inspiration motivates me to attempt to portray it, fully aware of the impossibility. As I strive to create untouched nature with my own hands, I embrace a paradox that becomes inherent to my work.
