maanden geleden kocht ik houten letters en dit weekend kon ik ze eindelijk gebruiken
twee dagen heb ik gewerkt in het Grafisch Werkcentrum Amsterdam en ik heb genoten! eerst letterzetten met loden en houten letters en op de tweede dag de polymeer workshop ik werkte met een zin van kim, nogmaals bedankt! en maakte daarbij een tekening voor de polymeerplaat .... de verschillende drukpersen, de mensen, het werk ik was zo druk met alles dat ik ben vergeten foto's te maken
typesetting & polymeer
months ago i bought wooden letters and this weekend i could finally use them
two days i worked in the Graphic Work Center Amsterdam and i thoroughly enjoyed! first typesetting with lead type and wooden letters and on the second day the workshop polymeer i worked with a sentence of kim, thanks again! and made a drawing thereby for the polymer plate .... the various printing presses, the people, the work i was so busy with everything that i forgot to take pictures
my Maria is a tribute to mother and child my starting point was, among other, this favorite Maria from my collection a reproduction of a pencil drawing from 1920 by Jan (Johannes Theodorus) Toorop and a picture of me with Youngest, taken on one of his first days, 13 years ago
in Venice we saw some beautiful Marias and even though i'm not religious, i have a soft spot for Maria for me Maria symbolizes mother and child, in general and if it were up to my mother my middle name had been Maria after both my grandmothers
the name Maria means 'bitter', but also 'well shaped' or 'sea' in dutch maria is the plural of 'mare', the dark spots that you see on the moon when you view with the naked eye and do you remember this song ;^))
MARIA

wit ten opzichte van donkergrijs.... het contrast tussen Venetië en waar ik woon is groot zonnig, zomers, kleurig, kronkelig, oud en stedelijk tegenover regenachtig, herfstig, grijs, recht, nieuw en akkerbouw .... ok, aan het werk! ik heb een idee voor een nieuwe linosnede
contrast
white against dark.... the contrast between Venice and where i live is huge sunny, summery, colorful, winding, ancient and urban opposite rainy, autumnal, gray, straight, new and agriculture .... ok, to work! i have an idea for a new linocut
het cadeau dat mijn moeder voor haar 75ste verjaardag kreeg en ik mocht haar vergezellen!
de foto's doen geen recht aan het bijzondere van Venetië ze zijn slechts een impressie van de steegjes, de waterwegen, de pracht, de kleuren, de vele leeuwen (mijn sterrenbeeld ;^) en meer en ondanks de enorme hoeveelheid toeristen waren de italianen zo aardig .... alles was zo bijzonder
a few days in Venice
the gift that my mother got for her 75th birthday and i was allowed to accompany her!
the images do not justice to the particularity of Venice they are only an impression of the alleys, the waterways, the beauty, the colors, the many lions (my zodiacsign ;^) and more and despite the huge amount of tourists the italians were so nice .... it all was so special
