Inquiry into the phenomenon of surfaces / 10



Leiden, July 28, 2008

I am - still - working on a conceptual series in which I examine the phenomenon of surfaces.
Part of the series will be sequential, showing one surface in different seasons and time of the day. Another part is more associative - showing different surfaces with the same patterns, colours or ideas.
It will take some time to finish this series - especially the sequential part. Consider this series as a random indication of a work in progress.

Herring warehouse



Vlaardingen, August 30, 2008

When Vlaardingen stopped being a fishing town, the warehouses at the Wilhelmina harbour got new destinies. Some were left to rot, some housed restaurants, a snooker center and so on, some were used for small industries and transhipment. Most of the old warehouses looked dark and dirty - and that is how I remember them. Some are restored and got their bright colours back - and that is how I saw this one last August.
