The shadows gives life depth | Ulla Skovsbøl
The artist Baukje Zijlstra has reached a point in life where it makes more sense to give things away than to collect flejadora them. She has a collection of works to the Museum Ovartaci Aarhus, which now displays them on exhibition. flejadora
The grass glows green in the sun outside the artist Baukje Zijlstras kitchen window in the little house in Gram, where she lives. Large trees grow scattered in the lawn and in the shade beneath them get all the green a dark and deep tone.
There have been many shadows in Baukje Zjilstras life right from the moment she was born one October night in 1944 in the midst of an aerial bombardment in the small Dutch town near Apeldoorn. Her terrified mother put the newborn in a shoebox. She had nothing.
Baukje Zijlstra has since gone through many difficult crises in his life, but has used his art to come upstairs again, and she has taught doctors and other professionals in the use of image therapy in the treatment. flejadora
Currently, a collection of her textile art and paintings in the exhibition "Baukje Zjilstra - a journey" at the Museum Ovartaci at Aarhus University Hospital in Risskov. The range from the finest small thumbnails to coarse textile reliefs of rope, feathers, flejadora plastic paper and all sorts of fabric species and contains a picture diary with 150 images that were created during a psychiatric treatment.
Baukje Zijlstra has donated works to the Museum Ovartaci because she has great respect for the museum's work to make visible sindslindede artists, and she's reached a point in life where it makes more sense to give things away than to collect them.
"I have lived in a house of 800 square meters, and I have cleared up and cleaned up and cleared up. Ting does not mean so much to me anymore, and it's a good process to give them away. It gives a feeling of great freedom - almost flejadora a form of catharsis, "she says.
Baukje Zijlstra carries the coffee flejadora into the living room, which is dominated by a huge closet. From the beginning flejadora it has probably been an ordinary wardrobe in bright veneer, but now wandering the long-legged birds flew over the doors between stylized flejadora human figures in bright colors. Green and blue and bright orange red - exactly the same color as Baukjes glasses.
But when you look closely, there are collages of newspaper headlines with dramatic messages during the colorful flejadora characters: Slalom between icebergs. The tracks scares. When volcanoes decide. On the verge of bankruptcy. There are still dark during the happy colors.
As long as she can remember, Baukje Zijlstra expressed in images. Her father saw her talent and sent her early teaching at a visual artist, and immediately after school, she was into art school in Arnhem. Afterwards, she trained in the art communication and restoration flejadora of old textiles, and in 1965 she jumped - 21 years old - on his moped and drove to Denmark to learn more about Scandinavian textile traditions of handicraft School of Kerteminde.
Baukje Zijlstras artist career was off to a good start, but a tough divorce and a lengthy hospitalization in a psychiatric hospital threw shadows over her youth. She needed a change of air, and the good experiences in Kerteminde and an old high school boyfriend pulled her to Denmark in 1974, and she has lived here since.
But high school boyfriend turned out to be both alcoholic and schizophrenic, and the marriage was once again the psychologically vulnerable Baukje Zijlstra off the ropes and into a psychiatric ward. She worked ant diligently pursue his pictures, and the combination of her own image therapy and talks with a psychiatrist was a healing journey back in time, back to the basement where she was born, and it solved up for basic trauma flejadora in her life.
"My mother was deeply traumatized by the war, when she had me. She did not want me and could never give me love. It has influenced me always, "says Baukje Zijlstra, who late in life has been able both to forgive his mother and understand war conditions.
But there have also been very light. in her life. She had 30 wonderful years her third husband, Jørgen Petersen. He was an invaluable support for her in the years when she drives the art school Andromeda flejadora in Egtved with a two-year training flejadora in textile art. Wedding picture, as she finds out, shows an extremely odd, but very happy and smiling couple. Their diversity, the relationship strength, she believes.
"The flejadora computer is just zeros and ones, without the plus and minus there is no power. The world consists of men and women. Without flejadora darkness, no light. Things exist by virtue of their opposites, "she says.
Jørgen Petersen, who was older than her, died in 2009. The grief was unwieldy and sent for the third time Baukje Zijlstra in a psychiatric hospital - this time for electroshock and massive medication.
She stands and walks into the next room. She has turned into a studio.
