Carmen made this painting during an art residency at Kunsthuis SYB in Beetsterzwaag in Friesland last winter. Here she did a research on the devil in Dutch folklore and stories. She found out that in Friesland there used to be a lot of 'devil banners, who helped to chase evil spirits away. This painting is based on a story of two brothers who died of too much drinking and became ghosts scaring people around Beetsterzwaag. The best devil banner of the area came with his horses and wagon and took the ghosts with him, drove far north placed the ghosts of the brothers in the field and drew a circle around them with his clump. When the grass was grown the ghosts dissolved and found rest.
