Total sensory immersion in nature
Even AI agrees that trees and plants demonstrably make us calmer thanks to a combination of psychological and biological mechanisms. They lower the stress hormone cortisol, reduce heart rate, and stimulate the nervous system associated with relaxation.
And naturally, countless studies have been conducted on this from various angles and by skilled people too.
And that is why an extra focus on nature seems so important in these times. We hurried, stressed, and busy people could really use the stillness it brings.
In this exhibition, you will encounter very diverse work by four female artists who approach and use this theme in their own unique way. Immerse yourself in these images created with care through photography, film, anthotype prints, collages of vintage paper, slowly changing objects, and sculptures. And who knows, you might emerge a changed person.
Represented artists: Sabine Rovers, Esther Hoogendijk, Danièle Knirim, Laura Spichtig en Isabelle Backer
