Lamp: Two collages
(on opposite sides of the lamp)
by Joke Elzinga,
The Netherlands.


   “In my work, walking
through the natural environment becomes a metaphor for the walk through life.
Living and surviving also relates to the the primal forces in life, the life- cycle, and rhythm. I experience these primal forces during my summer walks in Wales.

The primal forces relativize the anxieties of life. They remind me that life cannot simply be destroyed.”

From "Tijdcirkel", an artist book (in Dutch) by Joke Elzinga
and Marlies van Boekel, 1999.
