Eva was hier (Eve was here) 1992,
30 x 40 x 10 cm.
A piece of cord painted in gradual shades of red to pink to white hangs from a pink pin, on a soft board, painted in gradual shades of green.
The words, ´Eva was hier´, are pencilled in at the bottom of the board. This work was a response to discovering the work of Eva Hesse and the realisation that there was art, a lot of it, being made now, not only by women, but art that went beyond the dictates of modernism. Eve had been and had left her mark in the garden.

terug naar het verhaal  deel één   deel twee

This lithograph inside a custom-made transparent frame is a self portrait as a mother of a young child. One of a number of self-portraits where the idea of an 'object' (in the sense of both objectifying and the materializing of the) portrait is questioned.

A related painting is: Portrait of the artist as a bottled peach.

With this work you could ask yourself, is any mother a wild creature when it comes to nurturing, or is nurture cultured or part of human nature?
