The installation de Verwachting, created for Grensloos Kunst Verkennen, consists of seven life-size charcoal drawings of Wousje, Caroline, Sumin, Naomi, Haru, Corinda, and Laetitia, printed on white sheets and suspended from a pegless clothesline. These young women, shown with their backs turned, sway in the wind—caught between the twisted rope and resting on two raised poles—absentmindedly holding a doll.
The installation was placed in the garden of the vicarage near the church in IJhorst, beside a small island with a stork’s nest. A location rich in symbolism, traditions, and stories.
The installation consists of a fifteen-metres pegless clothesline with seven prints of original charcoal drawings on u-circular silk satin heavy fabric (100% Rpet, each piece 120 x 200 cm) and two poles, each four metres tall.
