Personal

I realised that it is always difficult for me to explain my train of thoughts  (this is probably one of the reasons for my choosing to be an artist, although it seems we have to be good at writing too these days).

Anyhow,  this morning i realized that all my work concentrate on the vulnerability and fragility of being human, and perhaps the only real protection to the self is in the mind, taking care of it in order to not loose it!  Slowing down and pay real attention to what we do,  seems to make us more content in the long run, achieving produce only a short lived happiness and require more madness in order to get to the next fix of happiness.

Consistency is the lifeblood of progress.

      Fields and mountains
        all taken by snow;
      nothing remains

ACHAAN CHAH (Buddhist Monk)

The tree has its own pace
Your job is to dig a hole, water and fertilize it,
and protect it from insects,
But the way the tree grows is up to the tree….

Work in progress...

 

Iris Bouwmeester shows that nothing ought to be fixed for the artist.
That the intrinsic doubt that is inherent to an artist should serve as the basis for taking action.
This is a vulnerable attitude, but also the only way in which the artist can approach a core, an originality in a human being. Iris Bouwmeester’s artistry shows that in all its fibres.
