The Myrrh collection with the Minten collection as its counterpart
Myrrh is one of the treasures taken by the three wise men from the East.
Myrrh stands for preservation, but also for death. Used in embalming a body meant to preserve it.
In this exhibition 'minting' is the opposite.
Minting is processing the computational power needed to create a blockchain.
This links the image back to its creator.
The collection consists of a number of elusive shapes in strong contrasts.
An exchange of forms, some of which tell a story (collage of text).
Others represent primary feelings. Like being trapped in dark solitude.
The Minten collection with Myrrh as the opposite
Minting is the process required to record an image in a blockchain.
The innocent colors in baby blue and pink suggest an airy open-mindedness.
Important data is captured and stored in barcode sequences in an indefinable landscape.
