Ins blaue hinein
(Into the blue)

 

Hannie van Weel

the Netherlands

 

Marbled on silk,  hand-embroidered

Silk, linen, marbling dye, various threads


  

Four landscape views, shot from a drone of several European countries were taken as a starting point. Along the same longitude line with human activity on the ground showing  a fugitive shelter, a helicopter platform, a parking lot in the middle of nowhere, and an imaginary border.

Together they form series of 8 art works in four groups of two. Each group containing one big work and one small work highlighting a detail of human activity.

Imaginary landscapes were created by means of the marble technique.

The human interventions in the landscape are much more emphatically embroidered and show a number of themes that play a role in Europe through and across all borders.
