About this artwork
This is a painting from a series called Fragments from The Past, made during the Pandemic. The first layers of these paintings are all from paintings that were started before Covid-19. In Spring 2021 Marit Geraldine wanted to continue working on these studies, but immediately felt resistance to moving forward. She was trying to continue a conversation from the past but the original nerve was gone… Each layer reminded her of something a bit lost,…
so she figured out she had to adjust her own perspective. She had to continue the dialogue with a new mindset, keeping parts of the painting as it was, but adding a distance and space to it. New learning. The artist said this study reminded her to keep old memories alive but to always listen to new impulses – so we can continue to live and adapt.
