Tide - Land

The Wadden Sea is a World Heritage Site and the largest contiguous wetland on earth and unique in the world. The wind, the salt and fresh water and the tide provide a unique dynamic landscape that is a food paradise for many animals. The sand flats and channels change course and seawater washes over the salt marshes. Weather, wind and tide determine the color, texture and atmosphere of the wetland.

During my walks colors, smells, sounds and the visual treats excite my senses. I captured this photographically. Then I made a collage image that consists of several layers from my memories, feeling, creativity and imagination.
Color is one of them. Colors and emotions are closely linked. Primary colors such as red, green and blue elicit strong responses, while muted colors affect moods more subtly.

The image that emerges is my tide-land.

My creative work are images from nature, citiy's, structures and playgrounds.

Most times my images are colorful and they can be realistic or also abstract. The palpable atmosphere of the places is ‘painted’ with my camera  and can be seen in layers, colours, reflections, movements and expressions.

My approach is often to turn the known in the unknown so that people look at it again and in a different way.

I think originality is important and am trying to catch that in my work
