Meyke Mulder

A researcher.

 

I observe and listen.

Ask questions to clarify things.

Focus on details.

Create an image in my head.

Share my opinion and sometimes give advice.

Put everything on paper.

 

I do this as both caregiver and artist.

The same process in two different worlds.

Worlds with their own rules, specific goals, interests and expectations.

 

I look for the rules that help me to set boundaries and create space.

 

For this work - Ways of saying II - I play with existing rules in healthcare and self-created rules in my art.

A still life of drawings and a secret language in which letters disappear into shapes.

 

Art allows me the freedom not to be understood.

Something I would like others to experience as well.
