In mijn werk probeer ik de rol van decoratie in het dagelijks leven op waarde schatten. Ik kijk naar moderne manieren van natuurbeminning, zoals bloemschikkunst. Door een ideaalbeeld van de natuur na te streven, wordt deze steeds bevalliger, en glipt natuurlijkheid net door de vingers. De werken verschillen in vorm, materiaal en omvang (schilderijen, behang, installaties, boeketten, tekeningen, een publicatie), maar belichten eenzelfde thema; het onbestemde verlangen naar dat wat niet hier is, en hoe decoratie en natuurbeminning daaraan uitdrukking geven.

Publications

2020

Assorti Book eigen beheer Hansje Struijk Rotterdam, Netherlands www.hansjestruijk.nl/assorti/ This bundle is an appreciational articulation of decorativeness and ornamental nature. Blue, green, white hydrangeas in beige flower containers, sharp-lined feather suits, seafood plates, gardens, many more. They are hesitant hints of paradise, seeping through common scenery. Assorti is an intimate archive, an effort to look closer into painterly, very special, very natural depictions. In Assorti, I assorted imagery on decorativeness and ornamental nature. Photographs, book pages and drawings, wrapping materials, screenshots, paintings; some everyday shapes and forms, some very special. I filed them in corresponding pairs.
