Sharing the Land — Notes on Nature

'Sharing the Land' explores how human beings perceive, represent, and give meaning to nature – and how these processes continually shape one another. The practice of Sabina Timmermans spans drawing, painting, and spatial installation. It begins in the landscape, where she spends long periods experiencing its physical and sensory elements, which in the studio develop into large charcoal drawings, collages, and clay models. By extracting natural forms from their original context and rendering them as sculptural, bodily presences, her images take on the resemblance of living beings. The layered process of creation mirrors the slow rhythms of natural growth. 'Sharing the Land' combines artworks with photographs, field notes, and texts by guest writers Rebecca Nelemans and Norbert Peeters.
