TINKEBELL (1979)
Flora Tata Metallica #13
2021 | particulates on canvas | 40 × 60 cm
At first glance, this is just a negative of a plant. However, these plants only grow in an area where the soil is contaminated. The black background consists of pathogenic particulate matter from Wijk aan Zee, where the polluting factory of Tata Steel is located.
TINKEBELL filters fine dust from sand with a magnet, so that only polluting substances remain. While creating these works, the artist has to deal with headaches, nosebleeds and dizziness, but she wants to expose, at all costs, that the emissions are dangerous for people.
