maps

I collect. Small pieces of fabric, string, ribbon and thread. I cannot resist the glint of a needle lying outside my office, swept out from the training studio. I share the collected bits and create small maps, of wishing places, hiding places in my mind...

My entire live was about maps, searching for places and reading the information, rivers, contour lines, railroads and borders, always in straight red lines. Photographing these on the window in De Doorns, the last light of the day, as night comes fast in the valley, the mountain steals the sun...

I share this with the students to inspire. They can create own maps, own journeys with a needle and re-use, re-purpose, re-create.
