Dear members of Nivea
Which will in the future become the heart of a living art construction inside an empty church.
But for now it only exist on the internet.
My own virtual galarie space and continuesly growing artwork
I made U a part of it
My goal is to collect a one time donation of U of 5000 euros
It will be spend on a new work to be realised
It will become a transparant sculpture of a girl in the fault possition.
With a redcoloured tiny simular sculpture of the same girl on the heart location
I will show U the sketches down below.
The Original preliminary study that consisted entirely of sentences, is unfortunately no longer in my possession.
It was build from words.
I donated the work to the now retired holistic counselor; Jan Anne Loonstra
Because he helped me completely free of charge during my studies.
He was close friends with Willem the Ridder who is co founder of Poppalace Paradiso Amsterdam
And introduced me with him in 2010
Thanks to him Willem de Ridder wanted to support my plans of building and founding organic church a living artwork and also the base of an artschool for art, music and dance.
The works I am currently involved with are written selfportraits
build from words
They are at the moment under management of Galerie Focus on art in Zwolle
It are 4 large tissues in wooden frames behind mirrored glass
Each peace is build from different affirmations
inspired by the books of Louise L. Hay
The power of words
Viewed from a distance , this work of 1,5 by 2 meters looks like a kind of watercolour.
The structure looks transparant.
When the viewer looks at the work up close, he sees a rythem of hatching.
Even closer to the work, the viewer discovers that the hatching is a concentration of words.
They form a rythme..
A repetition of the same sentence.
The one above has the sentence:
I am willing to let go of the fear of being allone, I embrace myself like a warm blanket
They are affirmations based on the books of Louise L. Hay
Who conveyd the belief that from your subconscious mind you can change your life by drowning out the fears with opposite sentences
Also called Mantra,s or affirmations
Now You have a better picture of the working methods that I follow.
I confront the viewes with the self-image by equipping the works with mirrorglass.
According to the galarie owners in Zwolle
A few people started crying by looking at the work.
One woman said : "It reminds me of my deepest fears but it also strucks me by the beauty and simplicity of the image at the same time."
I personally have never seen the works since 2011 when I brought them there to make sure they were saved.
It,s is the same way the buddist monk every day makes a mandela of coloured sand on the floor of the tempel to wipe it out at night and start the same ritual in the morning.
All day he works in high focus.
He makes it so beautifull it must be concidered as a peace of art.
He masters the art of letting go.
I have tried to approach U before by sending in some pictures of designs for Your great Nivea cream.
It was my way of showing gratitude that Your cream has contributed to my skin after 5 years being homeless, together with my partner, wandering through Groningen( who is also a visual artists and musician)
I could shout it from the rooftops!!
I think Your cream is the best of all..
It makes me the eternal child on the outside.
However it also had a big disadvantage.
Nobody wants to beleave that I,m homeless!! Not even social services
Because I look to well taken care off.
While I really need their benefits to be able to survive outside.
Before U hit in shock, I want to chear U up with the design for Your cream
U have allready thankt me for them.
U might think ..
How can this be ....
Every dutch person is entitled of bed, bath and bread.
how can she be homeless?
Rest assure I choose to be so..
Actually I secretly hoped that You would take my designs into production.
So that my children who live far away from me and haven,t seen me in over 5 years, because I don,t have a home adress.
After all the City of Groningen does not want to accept me as a citizen unless I renounce my civil rights to a benefit.
Than they will give me a mailadress
And because I think that as unfair I refuse to do so...
While my partner and also artist Jeremiach could enjoy the Citys benefit and postall adress during our roaming (which of course I think is great, because he had to wait for it for 14 years to happen)
Yes That,s right this is 2017....
.
Just for the record my friend is an extremely talented artist He is international renowned for his musicskills
And also honourary citizen of Australia because of his works as an artist.
However State judges on his Timorese/Molukkan background and is not awair of his popularity.
He has been living in the Netherlands from age 4.
I recommend U to roam accross my installation to get educated about the matter.
Fortunately we are a very creative couple and have turned this very negative experience into something positive.
We both beleave in the power of innovation!
We are busy setting up an education/art project.
To give shape to the experiences we have gained in practice to a positive turn!
Which will eventually be realised in the minicipality of Groningen.
Negotiations on this all allready under way.
We are also waiting on the reply of Groninger museum which we approached as our main sponsor.
We want to bring our experiences of the last 5 years together in an internet installation that will have its base in the living working space to be realized.
It will eventually become a space of international realization.
The image of the Fetus will be destined for the entrance of the building.
As a reception peace.
It will be constructed from weather resistence materials.
Your donations means that as one of the main sponsors are associated with the initiative to give children who are refused at primary school because of their stamp (adhd, pddnos,schizophrenic, psychotic, difficult to handle or highly gifted) a thorough individual guidance to self employement and responsible young adult artists.
