Outdoor Activities

 

2021

 

The Outdoor activities series deals with post-lockdown ambiences, surreal landscapes inspired by colonial, idyllic Toile de Jouy - mostly monochrome, historical and pastoral scenes, printed on porcelain, tiles, dishes and fabrics.
I started this project to experiment with open space - landscape, which I have not dealt with until now. I wanted to see how I could revive flora and fauna, happy people in the meadow (Toile de Jouy) and put different situations in such an environment: staying at the cottage, making love in the car, etc. The focus is on travel, exotic fantasies, as well as long-paused international exchange. There is also a need for physical touch not only in an erotic sense but for the natural exchange of energy.
