Ine van Son

Land changes. Landscape changes. Through fault of time, of rain, wind and humans.

Everything leaves its traces. Every presence, every intervention. Vague or explicit.

Prints in the land. Traces as signs of passing time.

In commission of Natuurkunst Drenthe I built an installation at Schoonoord; by means of frottages on textile I registered traces, that will pass away further through time (see under 'Installations' for more information). After finishing this project I felt the urge to document it. From there, this work appeared: a book made of brown velvet, 14 textile pages. I combined photographs of the stones and the wood that I captured in frottages with parts of the frottages itself. This lead up to 12 collages, tied together in this book.
