lisanne: WORK

for my graduation project I decided to book a flight to oslo, and spend a month travelling through scandinavia. i did not plan anything, and spend most of my nights on the couches and extra beds of friendly people I met along the way. during my stay i took pictures, kept a diary, collected things, and recorded sounds. when I arrived back home, i started making small etchings about my trip. i noticed most of my work was about 'feeling at home'. what caught my attention was that i could feel at home in so many places. even if I was alone, eating an apple next to a glacier. i started to ask myself a lot of questions. what is home? why do you feel at home somewhere? could something help you feel at home when you're far away?

my final work is an amulet and talisman, offering you safety and luck. on the left side you can find one of my etchings, made after places where I felt at home. on the right side I can write a special message for your loved ones. it is a take-away reminder of home, close to your heart.

all my etchings are also on sale for 70 euro a piece including frame, in limited edition of twelve pieces.
let me know if you'd like one!
