Eva Spierenburg, Sense of Sediment (25), 2024
Acrylic, pencil, ink and graphite on paper
In this work, Eva Spierenburg brings together multiple visual elements that evoke landscapes, bodies, and mental maps.
On a soft, brownish field, two forms partially overlap: a dark, almost nocturnal plane in which white lines branch out like a network of streams, roots, or neural pathways, and behind it, round structures that suggest brain folds or geological cross-sections. The white lines follow no fixed pattern but spread organically across the surface, as if revealing a system of movement or energy.
Dark and greenish areas suggest depth, water, or shadow, while lighter patches function as openings. This layered composition results in an image that feels both cartographic and bodily. Spierenburg does not depict a recognisable landscape, but a field of connections and structures in which inside and outside, body and environment, flow into one another.
