I was pigheaded and didn't bring my 6x7. These were taken with her borrowed Hasselblad, normal lens. Objects were found locally, sometimes from the thriftwinkle, sometimes borrowed from people in the surrounding town, and representing people and encounters that manifested during the residency. Kolderveen is a tiny community comprised of mostly dairy farmers, close to Meppel, NL. The residency took place in the grounds of the former cheese factory. Dutch painting was in the air. Cheese was too.
