It is time to look back and evaluate the art I passionately created since 1989. There are threads that still need to be worked out. I will pick up these elements and clear away the rest. This exercise reflects the urgency to move forward. In this way I draw on old and necessary ideas and make room for the new. Perhaps I will bury my previous works: entrust the entire oeuvre to the ground, but first exhibit, share and sell as much as possible. Carla 2024 RETROSPECTIVE #1 | Window display at my new studio Van Galenstraat The Hague. Looking back to go forward. "Die Welt" and "Venus of Willendorf" (right corner) from the GLOVE MAKERS project. 2012 WIEN RETROSPECTIVE #2 | "Titia's Dresses" (right) and "Seedbed" (left) from the INVISIBLE project. I found many cloths (bodies) which I adapted to pieces of art (souls). While I was working in this female area of the magical art of thread, creating everything by hand with needle and thread. 2000 GRONINGEN
