Me today

 

 

 

 

When the leaves turn into yellow, gold, red and brown,
a soft, sad feeling opens my heart
Outside my door, the wind hold his breath
and inside I wait
….. till he starts to blow again.

Standing on a hill in Edinburgh I saw a new horizon
Not materialized yet, but.......... never the same.

I hold my heart in my hands and listen....

This year I will look for the little, quite, simple things in my work and the complex intensity which goes along with that. I will disappear into the movements (become the subject), so the audience can synchronize and travel with me into different subtle worlds.
 
I will look for podia and places which fits this kind of work, for instance musea, alternative platforms and in the nature (see photo on this page).
 

Mary Brennan (the Herald, aug '09) saw -as always-where I was heading to and wrote this:

'Her interests just now seem to focus on the small things, the simple things that can only be appreciated if you take time to stop, stare and play. Consciously reconnecting with the wonder you felt as a child, de Jong has an exquisite capacity for radiating just such a sense of beguiled, beaming pleasure and amazement'.
