ANNEKE SAVERT |
about Peat and Stone |
17 may-28 june 2025 |
Picture: Anneke Savert, Peat Stories part one (detail), 2024, cyanotype • www.savertartworks.nl Westerstorm Gallery invites you to the exhibition 'about Peat and Stone' by Anneke Savert. Anneke Savert's work is about home, the place where you sleep, grow up and feel safe. What does a home mean, when do you leave it behind and especially why? Leaving your home has had a major impact on people and their descendants, both in history and the present day. In Westerstorm Gallery she shows work that was made during and after a residency in Polranny, Mayo, Ireland. During her stay she immersed herself in the migration history of people from the area and saw many similarities with the present time. Social position, war or hunger causes people to leave their home and look for a new home elsewhere. Ultimately, migration is of all times. This migration is depicted by compositions of stone and Irish peat on cyanotypes of delicate substances in combinaton of preserved traces from the earth. Saturday May 17th from 13:00 - 17:00 the artist will be present in the gallery. You are welcome! Westerstorm Gallery is a platform for contemporary art. Nature and escape from reality as a theme. The former smithy functions as a project space for research and experiment.
