Here and There

In November 2015, several attacks were committed in Paris. I was shocked! That fear, that realization, I had to do something with that. As an artist I can convert thoughts into paintings and so I went to my studio, searched for suitable textiles and thought about what I had experienced. I was looking for a metaphor for that arbitrariness. And soon found it in two houses. The one house that was safe felt like a warm home. The other house I could not have been better was a dangerous house. A place where it certainly was not safe.
