my work studies the boundary of image.  what is the end of one image and the start of another?

the definition of an object in relation to its environment presents a field of tension, which i seek to visualize:

a pin-pricked handrail.  a frozen incidence of light.  a stream of fish..

this is all casually exhibited in a self-evident way, allowing the boundary between work-of-art and environment to fade for the audience..

viewed from outdoors through a courtyard window, the current exhibition of dienke nauta entitled, ”pillow”, is presented from a further perspective.  where the conventional interior view consists of works on opposing walls, this exterior view reveals an overlay of soft sculptures suspended against a backdrop of vaporous treescapes. here one finds an engaging interplay of dienke’s subjects under both intended natural and artificial light.
