2020, October - 'World Collage Atlas - Schiedam' - Group exposition, Schiedam, NL

World Collage Atlas is an initiative by COUPEE for the second #worldcollageday in 2019 by KOLAJ magazine.
By means of their work 180 collage artists from all over the world, rectreated a 1939 antique World Atlas 'Patria'
into a new World Collage Atlas full of art. Expressing how in 80 years the world has changed in many ways,
new borders were drawn, new countries are born, new visions are represented in new art.

The travelling World Collage Atlas visited Schiedam in October 2020. For this occasion 17 artists created collages
to show their vision of a changing world.

Because of the urgent need to give nature a better place in our world, I made a collage on top of the large leaves
of the beautiful Butterbur (Groot Hoefblad - Nl), one of the plants that, through millions of years, shaped
the soil of west Holland on top of which we have build our culture.
The paper collage represents aspects of our life and history within the cutout shape of the city of Schiedam.
