Landscape of tolerance originated from the desire to create a spatial representation. In the research, shapes were created that remain abstract but want to be figurative. When is an object accepted as a representation? Shapes are enlarged, stacked and hung loosely in space. The painting on cardboard were created by chance out of left-overs. Organized in a patch work manner and directed into a abstract form. Newspapers are painted; some fragments dissapear, other receive attention. The paper is stacked with news which become part of the layering and can not be seen as neutral anymore. Newspapers are sewn together, the thread makes the construction visable. The stacked boxes balance but take up space and hold their ground. Have we entered the setting of a play, with players about to enter the stage?
