CROWDFUNDING
‘Island Findings. Marine, botanical and other observations from Iceland and Tholen’
As a little girl,
@elleke_vangorsel lived on her parents farm in a rural area on the island of Tholen. She often lay in the grass and gazed endlessly with wonder, completely captivated and in supreme concentration with the nature around her. Wildflowers, birds, insects, and other small creatures.
She retained that same childlike wonder and admiration for nature throughout her life as an artist. Curious to see what the current state of affairs would be like on her native island she went back with her camera. And later she did a similar extensive study at two Artist Residencies on Iceland.
Her book includes photographs from both islands, Tholen and Iceland. Because she found it important to mention the name of the photographed objects in Latin and Icelandic or Dutch, she conducted an extensive research at the University Library of Reykjavik and Eindhoven University of Technology.
