Amsterdam Artspace – presenting THE WORLD NEEDS MORE FLOWERS & BIRDS including tapestries from The Seasons and The Art of Living Together, alongside my crowdfunding project and digital preview of new work.
“Most tropical flowers are colourful and have long tubular calyx full of sugary nectar. These plants have customized and adjusted their shape and size for the beaks of local sunbirds, to be exclusively available for them. Sunbirds also feed on all the insects that visit the flower, and this helps in protecting the flower from being eaten: mutualistic symbiosis.”

Rossana Orlandi Gallery, Sardinia – presented two tapestries Sunbirds & Tropical Flowers 2.0 and Autumn Forest. photo Rossana Orlandi – Autumn Forest by Tjitske Storm – Flowers in Waiting by Matteo Cibic – Coral Collection by FeUse
“Once there will be a time, when the aged autumn leaves are falling from the sage trees,
voluminous flowers are waiting to bloom in the plentiful gardens of earth,
and the Universe is celebrating a long awaited recovery of curvaceous corals,
within the depths of the sea.”

“The Art of Living Together is my signature collection of limited-edition tufted and woven tapestries. I’ve found the inspiration for the concept when traveling in Angola and South-Africa. The artworks are conceptually and visually translating my fascination for evolution and the natural phenomenon of symbiosis. The interaction between different species is emphasized through the correlation of the geometric and the organic, the abstract and the detailed, the digital and the tactile, the East and the West, the North and the South, and the old and the new. Dissimilar worlds that smoothly collide, interact and enforce each other.”

“The word mandala means circle in Sanskrit. A mandala is a symbol of the universe in its ideal form, and its creation signifies the transformation of a universe of suffering into one of joy. They are also used as an aid for meditation, inspiration and inner wisdom.”
