Alles wat zacht was
Everything that was soft

Alles wat zacht was/Everything that was soft, is my book with 40 diptychs with artworks and poetry.

On this page I show a summary of the project, with some diptychs, images of the book, Projects and video.

The theme is: being vulnerable and secure at the same time. The subjects are generally about life, as well as religious.

The artworks are 19 monoprints and 21 ecoline drawings.

The book is the result of a larger art project: Fragility Shelter. You can find more about this project on the special page:

To Fragility Shelter >>

There is a special website about the book, with much more background and information, which is in Dutch:
