About this artwork
en SEAmaps that have been transformed and placed in new contexts. Each SEAngle is unique: a collage of photos, foam, fabric, paper cut, found objects, mixed media and acrylic. All SEAngles are also available in handmade frames (40 x 40 cm / black or white
).In the SEAmaps, the love for the sea, collecting old maps and sea maps, the fascination for ships, containers and ports are combined with the desire… to travel and the joy of "getting lost" - in foreign areas, bygone times, somewhere between cities, countries, islands and oceans.
At first glance, the SEAmaps look like maps, with strange, sometimes familiar shapes of cities, countries and continents, but in impossible combinations. Layer by layer, these are laid on top of each other, a lot happens at the edges, the coasts, but just as much takes place under the surface - as in the sea itself.
