Fragility Shelter

In March 2020 I started the project Fragility Shelter. I Began with making one monoprint a day, a technic I wanted to work with, for some time. I started when I was in quarintaine and made 89 monoprints in total.

The thema was being vulnerable and secure at the same time. I made abstract artworks, with in every artwork a vulnerable inside and a sheltering outside.

After free experiments, I started to look around for inspiration for shapes and forms.

I worked for about 1,5 years with the theme and experimented with different materials.

A selection of the artworks became part of my book of art and poetry: Everything that was soft.
