The Ships (archway for the studio)
MAY 2023
new piece in preparation. The ships of Jan Jacob Slauerhoff, the Dutch 'poète maudit'... mounted above te entrance door of my new studio forming an archway
De zee, hoe diep en hoe ver,. Is zijn ontastbaar gebied;.
Alleen een schip en een ster. Peilen tezaam dit verschiet.

"Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,
So do our minutes hasten to their end;
Each changing place with that which goes before,
In sequent toil all forwards do contend.
