“One of the characteristics of graphics is that it
requires a planned approach. Every step in the
process is definite. This means that you should not
begin if you don’t trust your own ideas. On the
other hand, it means that you can’t do anything
except have trust in your own skills and your
interaction with the materials and technique.”
Inge van den Thillart:
“In my graphics, the most important elements are shaped by rhythm and colour. I derive the images from the landscapes that I happen to stray upon. ‘Natural trust’ is inspired by the only primeval forest that still exists in Europe, Bialowieza National Park on the border of Poland and White Russia, where I travelled last September. This forest stands for growth and endurance – something achieved if you literally give it the time and space. For that you need trust and you have to grant trust.”
