blog - final entry

This will be the last entry on this blog. Dymph has returned to the US, and I am traveling as well. Thank you for reading this blog. On my 'portfolio' page you can see more images and read about the background of this project.

Following are a selection of the images from the exhibition and a poem by Frank Eerhart, shared by my neighbor, written on a print by Dymph, freely translated:

"boulder"

it was big, it was rock, from up high, it looked proudly into the valley, but it broke, it fell, and a stream took it to the ocean, it was made round, by the sand, became a boulder, on the beach, by the ocean

"poem - kei"

These are some of Dymph's works. She did not name them. She used found objects and materials, glue, sand, paint, fabric, paper.   The 2-D works are on paper with india ink and inks made by her.     

Some pages from my ATLAS blog atlas"After having lived as a migrating boulder for many years, I've settled, for now, on the Wageningse Berg. In this VERY abridged ATLAS I present some of the places on the Berg that have my interest.   

 

blog atlas holle weg"hollow roads" often occur on the edges of push-moraine. The Wageningen hollow road was part of a pre-historic route. Length: 200 meters, average gradient: 9.1%, steepest gradient 11.4%, difference in altitude: 20 meters.   

 

blog atlas grafheuvelsOn the Berg are 11 visible burial mounds, the oldest dating from 2.500 BC. Burial gifts show that these people traded with others in an area as large as present-day Europe.   

 

blog atlas begraafplaatsenThere are two more burial places: the Jewish burial grounds, established in 1668, closed in 1929, restaured and designated a monument in 1987. The grave of the family Constant de Rebecque, established in 1894 when the founder of the country estate "Belmonte" had died.
