__________MOTIONLESS TRAVEL__________

Corona is still around… Even during our Residence2020 and a resumption of studio-activities, we still were dreaming of traveling and visiting friends and family. .. So I took you and my jewellery with me on « Motionless Travel » through postcards received from family and friends (poetic title borrowed from Stephanie Paulus and her beautiful series of drawings made during confinement in Belgium – she borrowed it from a French Singer but that’s her story…).

If you want all the details for each postcard, go this way: click

__________RESIDENCY 2020__________

This spring/summer 2020, we were planning to a do a mobile residency on the European roads.
But, the virus came …
So, we transformed our confinement into a (stationary) residency in the garden
Here a part of our process (April 2020), classified by project. A diary is visible on Instagram in the highlight stories

______AGAVE______

Working with and for the public we have here in confinement.;-)
AGAVE: A ring for an agave
Process: Observing – Collecting – Drawing = A ring for an Agave
video
AGAVE: Underline the Existing
Agave – What is jewellery? (Bijou = jewel)

______EARTH______

For the 4 Elements series: Earth

Given the ecological situation we are in, we have two simple options: grow (with the earth) or (continue to) destroy
Process: Exploring option 1 and 2 – drawing

______Growing______

I choose 2 kinds of seeds:
CALLALOO (Amaranth)- local seeds from previous organic crops >< CUCUMBER – imported hybrid and pre-treated seed which will yield non-fertile seeds
To reach Food Autonomy, in the long run we will have to choose ..

______DESTROYING______

Process: observing – testing
Dissolution …
Small, repetitive, human actions

______Resilience______

Process: observing – testing
It doesn’t go always as expected
2nd picture: left – how we expected it will evolved / right: how it really evolved / middle: second test (still in progress)
