Dear readers,<br />
<br />
Sorry for the long quiet on my site. I'm making a new website, but it's not going so fast. I have to do also a lot of sidejobbing and work behind the scenes.<br />
For updates on my upcoming project, my second journey to Batik, please visit my blog De reis naar Batik, <a href="http://dereisnaarbatik.blogspot.nl/">dereisnaarbatik.blogspot.nl</a>. I'm preparing a great project later this year on Java, so make sure to follow!<br />
<br />
I will be sending a newsletter soon, so if you want to receive it send me an email at sabine{@}sabinebolk.nl and note if you like to receive in in Dutch or English.<br />
<br />
Thank you,<br />
<br />
Greetz<br />
Sabine Bolk<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After selecting, sowing, watching the beans grow and harvesting, it was time to reap what I sowed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Early morning, at 8, I arrived at De Kapeltuin. It was cold, but the Sun was shining. In my corner under the Sweet Chestnut I started preparing myself and the ground. With the spider spinning her web that week in front of my window in mind, I started laying the beans. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Beans are bigger and therefor you can make a bigger carpet, but because you have to lay each single bean (rice you can sprinkle) it takes more time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I never worked with just beans, and my plan was to use all seed-saved beans in the carpet. The other beans I used to make jewelry and little packets for dried beans to eat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After two hours making my beancarpet was complete. Small, but with every bean used and with an interesting end-form. Somewhere between a spiderweb, sunflower and wind-rose.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In my plot and the rest of De Kapeltuin I made a photo-exhibition. I made little booklets of the transformation of my 'Hill of beans' plot and my (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/sabinebolk/">Instagram</a>) beanfies. On my 'bicycle-wheel-on-stake' were pictures of how the bicycle wheel got overgrown by the Runner beans. So between the last ripening pods, the visitors could see the growing of the beans.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the garden I extended the exhibition I made during the <a href="http://www.sabinebolk.nl/2015/08/hill-of-beans-first-leaves-first.html">Kunstroute Haagse Beemden</a>. Photos of the history, the oldest from beginning 1900, the most recent from a few weeks before, were placed in the garden where they could be viewed with the same location today in one frame.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These historical pictures together with the pieces of history every visitor got when they took a bean (or packet or earring) from my carpet, told the whole story of De Kapeltuin. The little pieces of history had on one side a date in time with a little information and on the other side information about beans like the beans I used for my project and favorite bean-recipes of Kapeltuin-volunteers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The bean in this way was not only a bean to sow or eat (or wear), but a bean that hold a part of history of the place were it was harvest, and everyone together, the whole carpet, told the whole story. So in this way you learn more by sharing. Which for me was a key part of the story of De Kapeltuin. A rough grassland in time turned into a community garden by a group of volunteers in which sharing is the main goal. Not only sharing of harvest, but of a place to enjoy, together or alone by everyone in the neighborhood. </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Harvest started with a late night sprint to my bean-plot. Me and Freek wondered if my beans were ill, so to stop spreading, I took out the sick looking plants. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Unfortunately this were all the bean plants in the first row on my plot, the Lekatt beans. This dual fate of the 5 plants is clear if you saw the documentary 'Eeuwig Moes'.* The Lekatt beans are a legacy of Ruurd Walrecht. That of all my beans, these one failed, is a coincidence of a sad synchronicity. </div>

The End of August and the rest of September were filled with harvesting beans and herbs, drying the beanpods & herbs and selecting the best dried beans for the carpet. The other beans I used to make jewelry like Holy bean hangers & bean earrings. I harvest also the seeds of the Marigolds and folded a lot of seed-bags using old folders.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This process of harvesting and handling the different things from my plot took a lot of time, but I absolutely loved sitting in the Sun with a basket full of beans and the sound the cracking pods made when you are getting the beautiful beans out. I made a little video of that, you can watch it on my <a href="https://instagram.com/p/7GGBnvr4pT/">Instagram</a>.</div>

On 10 September I had finally my first ripe Runner bean pods. Already worrying for some weeks if all my beans would ripe in time, all of a sudden Fall set in. The leaves started to turn yellow and the bean pods went from a moist green to a dry brown. Shaking the beans to check if they are ripe is so much fun and I can recommend planting some beans just for this experience!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
From all the beanplants, only the Lekatt failed and the Holy Monstrance beans were to late. The other ones I could all harvest in time for my end project, which my next post will be all about.</div>

When they start to grow, it goes fast! Every time I went to check on my beans, every time I found more pods and every time I got a bigger longing to see what was happing inside of them. It was really testing my patience this project. Like every project I start, and testing my fear of heights...</div>

When I was hanging pieces of wallpaper on a 3 meter high metal thing on a wobbly ladder in the <a href="http://www.sabinebolk.nl/2013/09/behanginstallatie-little-nanas-cape.html">Grote Kerk</a> two years ago, I promised myself I wouldn't make such installations again. Sitting on Koen's neck trying to get a beanstalk released from a ribbon, I remembered myself again to this promise. This promise failed already last year, when I choose the <a href="http://www.sabinebolk.nl/2014/10/alles-stroomt.html">highest point on Vlieland</a> as a viewing point for my work. What is it with making projects that involve this parts of yourself that you normally try to avoid? </div>

Arriving at De Kapeltuin I saw that my 'Bicycle-wheel on stake' was hanging skew ('scheef'). The windforce was about 8 and with every windflaw the stalks were working as sails. Not the kind I wanted though. The other 'Bicycle-wheel on stake' was good. The stalks grew more equal on every side which made it more closed up and therefor protected from the strong wind.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Standing on Freek upper legs I tried to get a rope around the bicycle wheel to make an extra guy rope. I couldn't reach it and remembering my promise. Instead of trying more risky moves, I went to the school next to the garden and just borrowed a ladder. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With the extra guy rope the stalk hold steady and was ready for more stormy days...</div>

The night before we went on Holiday (our first real Holiday ever), I couldn't sleep. I was not nervous for our vacation, I was worried about my beans! It was storming soooo heavy with downpour on after another. With my skew bicycle wheel in mind, I was imagine the stalks breaking, flying around, destroying De Kapeltuin and finding this plot in the morning that was visited by a tornado...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So before we start our journey, we went to my plot. Oh nooo, oh noo, went through my thoughts. And my plot was fine, just very wet, nothing else. I was so happy and ready to go on Holiday!</div>

This year went fast. I was so focussed on making this project into a success, that I focussed on the end, getting my ripe beans, my harvest. And now the evenings are getting shorter, the warm deep colours of Autumn start to appear and I'm happy to tell you (spoiler alert!) that {a small} bean-carpet can be realized during the Harvest Fest. It's good that I didn't had time to update my site much in the meantime. Now I can look back and enjoy the progress again and get back those Summer days that passed so fast.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
In my previous report on my project '<a href="http://www.sabinebolk.nl/2015/08/hill-of-beans-first-leaves-first.html">Hill of beans</a>', I wrote about how I planted next to the beans different herbs and Marigolds to repel certain bugs and attract others. It's so rewarding to work on a location with so much life in it. On every pole & plant I found a Ladybug. And only on one plant I found aphis, and they were being dealt with by Ladybug babies (they look a lot less cute). My just starting plants couldn't get full credit for this. The maintenance of De Kapeltuin plays a big role in this healthy environment. They keep a lot of space around the plots for flowers like poppies & cornflowers. It's a feast for the eyes, but also a great bug-defence-system. </div>

Everyone, or at least the greenies, told me that the Runner beans grow really fast. Well, I really had no idea how fast, fast can be. When the first beanstalk starts searching for the thread and they found it, its like this grow explosion starts. After one month they were only inches of the ground, but after 6 weeks the beanstalks already reached my shoulder. On week later they almost reached the top of the 'Bicycle wheel on a stake'. In 8 weeks they grew 5 meters! And then the fun begins trying the get the new beanstalks around the threads as well, counter-clockwise...</div>

End of June, beginning of July was a period of drought. So I watered the plants a couple of times, especially the upcoming herbs. I pricked out the seedlings of the Savory/Bonenkruid, so they needed extra attention. The other herbs had a tougher start and I replanted the Dille many times, but the ones that survived the drought started to bloom very quick. Plus point of drought is that you don't need to weed that much. </div>

On the evening visit on 3 July I found my first flowers on the Runner beans. Beautiful, pop (knal) Red. Only for this you would already plant these beans!</div>

Beans not only grow fast, the bloom fast and they make bean pods fast. When the Runner beans reached the top on 12 July, I also found my first tiny bean pods on the Jacob Cattle Amish beanstalk. I was still waiting for it to climb, so I was very surprised finding not only flowers, but also pods.</div>

Waiting for the beans to show their first signs of life was a long wait. I haven't mastered Wu-Wei, the Art of doing nothing, yet and after the 14th of May it was very cold for a few days. We had even some evening frost. So I was very happy when I got a message from Freek on 26 May (13 days after sowing) that my Runner beans were coming up! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I took a look on the 27th, it was not only my Runner beans, but all the different types of beans showed their first bits of green and some of the herbs had their first tiny leaves. </div>

To prepare for this project I read a lot about beans as I mentioned in my previous post "<a href="http://www.sabinebolk.nl/2015/07/hill-of-beans-sowing-seeds.html">Hill of beans, sowing the seeds</a>". I borrowed this great book, the Organic Gardener's Handbook / Handboek ecologisch tuinieren by VELT from my friend Pieter and read it almost from cover to cover. I first only wanted to read about beans specifically, but wauw, that book has so much interesting information in it. All the types of biological gardening are described with their history and who invented what. For every vegetable is a chapter on how to sow them, harvest them and protect them and from what you need to protect them. Different herbs can be used to keep away different pests and attract insects that will do that job for you. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Between and around my beans I planted Dille, Marigolds, Sage, Thyme and Savory. Herbs that help me to keep Black bean aphids and Bean flies at bay. Marigolds scare of nematodes in the ground and attract Ladybugs (I don't know if this is official, but it really works, they love these plants). The Savory is not only good for the taste, but also for the digestion of beans. So a lot of win-wins and they make it look pretty too!</div>

On 14 June was the presentation of my project in progress during the Haagse Beemden Kunstroute. An Art-route through the neighborhood Haagse Beemden where people can visit studios, house galleries and exhibitions. It was the first edition for De Kapeltuin and I felt honored representing them. Next to my plot of beans, I made a small photo-exhibtion through the garden. Photos from the past and more present history were placed in a way you could see the now and the past. I also asked Freek, the 'gardenmanager', to exhibit his found ground-treasures. He showed me his small collection of special finds before. Unfortunately he threw already a lot away, but kept the special ones: A plastic big, shards of pottery & tiles, bones, unidentified metal & glass objects and a very scary toy Rabbit. He placed them on two pedestals in the garden. Visitors got a sense of the history of De Kapeltuin while enjoying the present, seeing my work in progress and getting an idea about what the Harvest Feast / Oogstfeest on 27 September will bring!<br />

The beans are already reaching for the skies. So time for an update here. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My previous post '<a href="http://www.sabinebolk.nl/2015/05/hill-of-beans-project-at-de-kapeltuin.html">Hill of beans, project at De Kapeltuin</a>' shows the empty plot for my 'Hill of beans' project from 1 February till 24 April 2015. This post shows the preparation for sowing the seeds and waiting for the seeds to finally show their leaves from 8 till 22 May. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Before I could actually sow my beans, I did a lot of research about beans. In general, about the specific beans I was planning to sow, about expressions and rituals with beans.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I found out great things and with every new find, my project grew.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First explaining the title: 'Hill of beans'. Watching the classic 'Casablanca', feeling quite disappointed about this classic, I was sitting on the edge of my seat when Humphrey Bogart says to Ingrid Bergman: “Ilsa, I’m no good at being noble, but it doesn’t take much to see that the problems of three little people don’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world”.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What a perfect expression, but what does it mean. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The mundane bean has for at least eight centuries been regarded as the epitome of worthlessness. Which is really strange regarding the fact that one bean makes many. So having beans makes you in a way very wealthy (or at least not hungry).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The original sense of hill of beans was literal. For example, a book on rural affairs by one J.J. Thomas dated around 1858 used it in describing how to grow lima beans: “A strong wire is stretched from the tops of posts placed at a distance from each other; and to this wire two diverging cords from each hill of beans are attached”. A little drawing alongside makes clear that the writer is referring to the mounding along the row of bean seeds.*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The belief is that the expression 'hill of beans' comes from the fact that if you sow your seeds, your beans, and one bean doesn't grow or has a disease, the whole 'hill of beans' was worthless.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Because we still use this expression, making something so valuable for so many people in this world, sound like an unimportant thing in life, I wanted to use this as a title for my work. Showing with my 'Hill of beans', the wonderful growth of beans, their many colours and beautiful drawings and of course their nutritive value </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Second, the date for sowing the beans. Beans like it warm, even so warm that they could easily be a solution to our global warming-foodproblem, so the temperature needs to be stable and no frost.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Everyone was saying I should plant them after the Ice Saints, because then there is almost no risk of ground frost anymore. Reading in on the subject, I not only found out that the day after Ice Saints was the best day for sowing beans, but it was also called 'Boondag' ('Beanday)'. I never heard of this before, but the last of the Ice Saints is the day to honor Saint Boniface. In Dutch Saint Boniface is is Sint Bonifatius. In Brabants this is easy pronounced as Boon-i-fatius, so boonman (bean-man). There are all these expressions like "Wie bonen wil eten, moet boonman niet vergeten", meaning something like "If you want beans in your place (or face), don't forget Saint Boniface", to tell you to thank this man if you want your beans to grow well. So the Feast of the Ascension, Hemelvaartsdag, became also my bean-day.**</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And then I had to wait for my first beans plants to reach the surface...</div>

Last year I got a suprize email inviting me for a kind of residency at De Kapeltuin, a community garden, in Breda (NL). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They saw a ricecarpet by me in the very beginning of my still short career. Contemplating how to proceed with my ricecarpets, my temporary ephemeral organic carpets, after my projects in England, it come at the perfect moment. I didn't just wanted to make a work on location, I wanted it to grow on location. I made a plan and happily it was excepted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The carpets that I normally make are made with materials I just buy at Toko, supermarkets and organic stores. In Cambridge and London I experimented with waste from pubs and given materials from homes. Resulting in different, interesting works on maybe even more interesting locations (see "<a href="http://www.sabinebolk.nl/2014/05/quid-pro-quo-negotiating-futures.html">Quid Pro Quo: Negotiating Futures</a>" and "<a href="http://www.sabinebolk.nl/2014/08/practices-of-sustainability-etude-1-and.html">Practices of Sustainability, Étude #1 and Étude #2</a>"). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
How can I make my work more sustainable, is the question I'm asking myself. So I'm making my own materials. I'm planted the seeds and with the harvest I'm making my temporary carpet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So sowing the seeds, reaping them and taking care of the plants till harvest. A seed to seed project.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
To stretch this cycle even further, the seeds I use for the temporary carpets, are selected on the quality of the seeds. So people can take the seeds with them during the Harvest festival and plant them again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
They not only take a seed with them, but also a little bit of history about De Kapeltuin. Every seed together tells the whole story. So in this way, people get invited to share. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It's more than a harvest to eat. It's a heirloom, captured in one seed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Last week my seeds went in the ground. I will share the growth of my project here, starting with a little photo-serie of my empty plot. From 1 February till 24 April 2015. The last photo is of Koen and Freek placing the bicycle wheel on a stake in my plot. The ending of the empty plot, but the true start of my project 'Hill of beans'!</div>

On the 28 of February 2015 I made a little temporary carpet at <i>Reclaim the Seeds</i>. This seed exchange and protest in one was held in Driebergen (NL). In a little parade of minds alike, I arrived at the locations which was gorgeous.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I made my little carpet in the <i>Cityplot</i> tent. This great organization from Amsterdam is an inspiring group of people who give workshops in growing your own food, seed saving and worm farms. I went to a seeds saving workshop to prepare for my 'Hill of beans' project at <i>De Kapeltuin</i> in Breda (NL) and really got a lot of inspiration from it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For my carpet I used as a pattern logos of the companies that try to patent seeds and are polluting our planet with pesticides. The materials I used where to be used the next they to make a 'Rangoli-soup'. A perfect little protest against the people who are making our food dangerous for use and our surroundings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next to making the little carpet, I went collecting beans from my upcoming project 'Hill of beans'. The beans I shopped, I selected not only on their pretty colours and patterns, but also on the way they grow and the ability for me to save the seeds. I did a lot of reading, and since then didn't stop learning about planting beans, ecological gardening, the history of De Kapeltuin, seed saving and other kitchen garden related facts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Tomorrow, Thursday 14 May 2015, I'm going to plant my selection of beans at De Kapeltuin. </div>

Even if its grey and cold outside, every day the sun shines in Liniepark in Breda (NL). I was lucky to make a nice project last year in the park where I also count butterflies. I have been active as a Butterfly Monitor since April 2012. In the Summers walking my route, I noticed that even though the park had a bad reputation and was covered with litter, a lot of people enjoyed it and even more important many animals and insects were living there. To make it a nicer place for animals and people, I came up with an after-school program for the schools next to the park, Rudolf Steiner and Okba Ibnoe Nafi. I titled the project "Daar lusten de honden geen brood van". An Dutch expression, but instead of using the meaning of the expression, I referred literally to the fact that even the dogs pooping in the park wouldn't eat the piles of moldy bread. In this way giving my frustration of litter in the park a funny name.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Walking through the park with a parade of 20 kids from the Rudolf Steiner School in May and June of 2014 was funny and great. We were lucky to see the butterflies I told them about, but also other little insects and waterbirds. I told them about the inhabitants of the park, but also about how we could improve the park for them. We talked about litter, the mowing policy and that that scary looking larva become the pretty ladybug, smelled the minty watermint and tried to collect shiny, dotted feathers without disturbing the ducks to much.<br />

<i>Drawings of pretty and ugly things in the park</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
In September and October 2014 my project was used to make an entire after-school program about Nature & Environment at Okba Ibnoe Nafi. In the lessons they would talk about things like recycling, what is your environment? And how would you like to improve it?<br />
During the walks we would talk about the things we noticed, about litter and the animals, about being quiet and meanwhile spotting butterflies.<br />
During the second walk I asked them to draw what they liked and disliked about the park. The first reaction was "We don't want to draw ugly things!", but I explained that in order to make people aware of ugly things, like empty bottle, cigarette butts, moldy bread and dog poo, we need to confront them with it.<br />
In the last lesson we made signs for the park, not your tradition prohibition signs, but a signs that explains what the kids from Okba Ibnoe Nafi find important.<br />
The signs show a mix of butterflies, the fountain (important for the health of the water and therefor important for the inhabitants of the park), trees, trashcans with the text "throw your trash in the trashcan" and "Be quiet".<br />
These beautiful signs had to be proper unveiled in the park. So I send some press-releases, hoping the speeches the kids prepared, would be documented by one official press-person. To our surprise the unveiling was documented by 3 photographers and a cameraman and. The kids were nervous, but also very happy to become little celebrities.<br />

<br />
<br />
The next day the local newspaper BN de Stem put the unveiling of the signs on their frontpage of City & Region (Stad & Streek) news and in the weekend it was frontpage on the door-to-door citynewspaper Het Stadsblad.<br />
Happy news, fighting negativity with positivity! I'm a strong believer of that and every time I see the colorful signs in the park I know it is the right way. You need to confront people with the ugly things, but sometimes the same goal is achieved by showing the pretty things instead!<br />

What a wonderful, crazy year this is. After my England adventures, I had one more to look forward to, Into The Great Wide Open*** on the Wadden Island Vlieland. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I never been to a Wadden Island before and put it last year on my wish-list for this year. Lucky me, my project got selected in April to be shown during the festival in September.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the beginning of May al artists where invited to check out their locations, meet the forester Erik and get a small preview with Here Comes The Summer. It was pretty cold, and being home only two weeks after Cambridge it felt a bit strange being away again to another island. But I also felt so fortunate that this was and is my job!The project idea I send in was to make a ricecarpet that would be best visible from a high lookout. The pattern for the carpet would be based on a local popular motif. During my visit to the island and afterwards I gathered a lot of information about Vlieland and the specific location for my carpet called 'Sjouwersmanbol' (something like "Porters-man-bulwark"). On this viewpoint is now an ex-NAVO range. From this high steel construction you get a great view over the island, the sea channel between Vlieland and Terschelling, the sandbank Richel and a lot of water. The natural viewpoint was used by cargo porters to spot the incoming ships through the sea channel. They then had enough time to run towards the harbor and secure the shipment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Looking at old maps and "spekmatten"** I noticed one clear motif, a symbol used on every map and I also found it on a lot of other things on Vlieland: A Windrose.****</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All pointing North, I used 4 different motifs to make 35 windroses out of cooked rice. During the three festival days, 5 till 7 September 2014, the ricecarpet slowly disappeared while the birds eat from it. </div>

Curator <span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 17px;">Vanessa Saraceno, whom I met and worked with in <a href="http://www.sabinebolk.nl/2014/05/quid-pro-quo-negotiating-futures.html">Cambridge</a>, invited me to make the first projects for her </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 17px;">practice-based Doctorate research "Sustainability.

<span style="color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 17px;">I made the works on location using materials, waste and organic, we collected in the neighborhood the week before the event. So that part was covered, but we also had skype talks before I arrived, making plans for the PR, whether printing a poster can be done sustainable, that I would take the train and how do you make people interact, or at least think about their practices of sustainability.</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On monday I arrived and the next day we started our project. We asked at pubs and restaurants around <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #141823;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Blackfriars Bridge if they would like to help us realize an artwork by collecting things they normally would throw away, like bottle-caps and plastic forks. The response was very nice, the managers or bartenders let us tell our story, Vanessa is very good in this, and they were </span></span></span>quite surprised when we asked in the end for their sponsorship in the form of their waste. Most of them responded with 'Of course' and by showing how they already separate their trash.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On friday we went back to pick up what they had collected. To our surprise almost all had something for us. We were welcomed with "Oh the ladies for the trash" and found they had placed a bag or cardboard box with instructions on them for their co-workers. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I spend the evening separating the materials by color, kind and size and getting nervous for the next day. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On <span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 17px;">Saturday 19 July at 11am I started making the temporary carpet on the Blackfriars Bridge. I worked with bottle-caps in Cambridge before, but combined it there with organic materials. I choose to make simple shapes, fish or bombs, repeating them till I ran out of materials. To secure the work I used sand collected at the river bank. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17px;">While I was making Vanessa explained her research to people and asked them about their thoughts on sustainability.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17px;">Still can't believe how normal it was to make a work on a bridge in London.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Mirroring the project on Blackfriars Bridge, we went door to door in the surroundings of the Victoria park to ask residents for any organic material they would like to offer for me to realize my artwork. Totally different from the response around Blackfriars Bridge, most people didn't have the time to hear our story. Or even open the door. It was hard work and we spent two afternoons ringing doorbells in tropical weather. It tested our limits, but it was also a valuable experience. When doors did open and people made some time for us, it felt great when they went into their kitchen to see what they had for us. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On Saturday and Sunday morning I prepared all the food so birds could eat it as well. Victoria park has the nickname "People's park", but is the park a place where only people can enjoy themselves or is it urban nature where animals can live and be, next to humans? With this question we started our project on Sunday 20 July.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For the temporary carpet I made stencils based on feeding signs for ducks and garlands of people holding hands with birds. I made the carpet out of all sorts of organic materials that the birds could eat. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When I finished laying the materials, we waited for the birds. Every time they got close to it, people, mosty with dogs, would pass by. Most times unaware of the carpet next to their feet and of scaring the birds away. The people who noticed the carpet saw the pattern of humans and birds quite fast and realized what it was for. "Look it's people! And what is that, oh a bird. Oh it's food for the birds", but we had to conclude that a park is not for sharing with animals, at least not the 'wild' ones.</span></div>

Between my collaboration project "<a href="http://www.sabinebolk.nl/2014/07/practices-of-sustainability.html">Practices of Sustainability</a>" with Vanessa Saraceno and my holiday to visit my dear friend and colleague <a href="http://edijkstra.wordpress.com/">Emmy Dijkstra</a>, I made a textile design for a great competition.<br />
<br />
The TextielMuseum in Tilburg is now showing the wonderful exhibition "<a href="http://www.dereisnaarbatik.blogspot.nl/2014/05/fashionblogger-walhalla.html">Artist Textiles. Picasso to Warhol</a>" which I saw in London at the Fashion and Textile Museum.<br />
The exhibition is full of textile designs made by artists, some are shown hanging on the wall, or turned into great dresses from the fifties & sixties.<br />
<br />
Now the TextielMuseum invited artists to send in their own textile design. A design, minimal size 1 by 1 meter, that is based on printing techniques. The winners get their designs printed on fabric!<br />
A jury will select the final winners, but you also have the chance to show your design in the museum!!!<br />
<b>To help me get selected, you can 'vote' for my design by liking, sharing, google plussing or pinning it with the social media tools below on my page. </b><br />
<b>Go to this page <a href="http://www.textielmuseum.nl/nl/pagina/sabine-bolk"><span style="color: #134f5c;">www.textielmuseum.nl/nl/pagina/sabine-bolk</span></a>, check out my design and use the social media tools to vote!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Thank you!</b><br />

On Saturday, 19 July, from 11am to 4pm, <i>Étude #1</i> will consist of a series of sculptures occupying the pedestrian area of <b>Blackfriars Bridge</b>. In one of the noisiest and most heavily transited area of London, signs and symbols of British visual culture will be deployed to address issues of sustainability in the urban environment.</div>

In the days before the unveiling of the installation, the artist will stage a ritual in the vicinity of the bridge, asking residents and passers by to share any object they want to offer, and inviting them to the unveiling of the sculptures on Saturday. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The artist will work with the collected objects, and the community will be invited to participate by sharing memories and experiences on the social sustainability of such a transitory area, in the slowness and intensity of an art experience. The temporality of this work will address sustainability as a vulnerable concept, inviting people to reflect on the consequences of their actions on their own environment, and imagine a different experience of the metropolitan everyday. </div>

On Sunday, 20 July 2014, from 11am to 4pm, Sabine Bolk will present <i>Étude #2</i>, an invitation to non-human species to re-appropriate <b>Victoria Park</b>, an area of the city that is meant to be a free space for both animals and people. <i>Étude #2</i> will invite people to re-think the visual culture of British rituals to inspire an alternative knowledge that may revitalise our relation with nature, and infuse in the community a different sensitivity towards sustainability. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mirroring the project on Blackfriars bridge, in the days before the unveiling of the installation, the artist will go from door to door in the surroundings of the park to ask residents for any organic material they would like to offer, while inviting them to the unveiling of the installation on Sunday. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Combining the donated materials with birdseeds, the installation invites members of the community to share their thoughts if and when the birds interact with the sculptures, turning the project into an investigation of sustainability in everyday life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Rituals address values that are contradictory, and meanings that are volatile and constantly negotiated. They offer an opportunity to see how society structures itself, and relates to its environment. Embodying sustainability as a contested concept, the curatorial research project Practices of Sustainability explores the potential of socially-engaged art practices for the amelioration of our relation with the social and natural environment. The project is part of <b><a href="http://www.sabinebolk.nl/2014/05/quid-pro-quo-negotiating-futures.html">Vanessa Saraceno</a></b>’s practice-based Doctorate research Sustainability. A New Sensitivity in Contemporary Art at University of the Arts of London. </div>

Op woensdag 4 juni ben ik aangekondigd als onderdeel van het Kunstprogramma tijdens het festival <b>Into The Great Wide Ope</b>n op Vlieland van 5 t/m 7 september.<br />
Ik kijk er ontzettend naar uit, wat een eer om daar aan mee te mogen doen!<br />
<br />
<i>Bij het betreden van de uitkijktoren wordt er een wit patroon zichtbaar in het landschap. Naarmate je hoger en hoger klimt, lijken de verschillende patronen steeds meer een geheel te vormen. Een groot tapijt, gemaakt van rijst, bedekt de ondergrond. Vroeger was de uitkijktoren een plek waar men uitkeek of wachtte op de binnenkomende schepen. In september kijk je uit over de patronen, geïnspireerd op zogeheten spekmatten, een soort kleedjes die zeevaarders maakten in de maanden aan land.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Een hele stille bezoeker zal na even wachten worden beloond met het aanschouwen van de verdwijning van het tapijt; het materiaal waarvan het gemaakt wordt is immers ook voer voor de vogels op het eiland.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Alles stroomt en niets blijft.</i><br />

Vanaf woensdagavond 14 mei is mijn boomkleed voor de Acer Ginnala op het St. Jansplein in Moergestel te zien. Het boomkleed 'Acer Ginnala' maakt deel uit van het Kunst en Bomen project. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
100 kunstenaars hebben voor 100 bomen werken gemaakt. De kunstroute in Oisterwijk en omgeving is van 25 mei t/m 26 oktober te bezoeken. Op zondag 25 mei wordt de kunstroute feestelijk geopend om 14u op De Lind in Oisterwijk. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Na de opening zijn er nog verschillende activiteiten zoals een Meet & Greet met de kunstenaars, dus hou mijn site in de gaten voor meer rondom mijn boomkleed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Mocht je naar de opening toe gaan, laat het me even weten, dan spreken we af bij mijn boomkleed in Moergestel!</div>

After a week and a halve program, meeting different organization, hearing lectures and following workshops, we made an exhibition in two days time in which we shared our thoughts on Sustainability. In the exhibition with the nice title "Quid Pro Quo: Negotiating Futures", Latin for what for what or something for something, I ended up working with a theme I've been fascinated about for a long time now: <a href="http://www.sabinebolk.nl/2011/12/de-reis-naar-batik.html">Corpus Christi</a>.<br />
<br />
I already wanted to make a project inspired by the Corpus Christi procession for a long time now. However at first I didn't want to do something with it in Cambridge. When I was preparing for my stay (googling and reading about nice things to see in Cambridge) I came across the Corpus Christi College. I couldn't find a direct connection with the procession at first, so I put it out of my mind.<br />
<br />
On monday the 31th of March I walked through the historical center of Cambridge and I noticed these bronze flowers in the pavement. Maybe they were a reference to the Corpus Christi processions with temporary carpets? The artist <a href="http://www.michaelfairfax.co.uk/cambridgeflowers.html">Michael Fairfax</a> enjoyed the reference and he was surprised that he didn't hear of it before, but it was not his reason behind this work. <br />
<br />
The seed was planted however, and while the program of the residency continued, it became clearer and clearer for me that there was a connection between Sustainability and Corpus Christi. Not in the meaning they represent, but in how you communicate a point of view and try to convince others that it is the right on.<br />

We were in luck with our residency that we had a curator among the participants. Vanessa Saraceno helped me a great deal. She came up with the plan to collected materials for the exhibition by knocking on peoples doors. In this way, the neighborhood got involved, could participate by giving materials and became a part of the exhibition. For me this was a great opportunity, not only is it a great, and direct way of 'Crowd funding', I also received materials I normally wouldn't choose for my ricecarpets like spaghetti or green tea.<br />

<i>Photos by Krisztian Hofstadter</i></div>
<br />
For the information booklet I wrote this text:<br />
"Inspired by the Corpus Christi procession, held in Cambridge from 1352 to 1535. A parade through the streets from the Corpus Christi College to the Magdalene bridge. Rituals, like Corpus Christi, can mean different things to different people. In their construction of images of the world and in their incitement to action, processions can bear messages that are contradictory, volatile, and determined by context."<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
I made my little carpets on different places in the gallery. I based the patterns on symbols we use for re-use, recycle & reduce on packaging. I tried to match them with the works in the space. The symbol for reduce of water with <span style="text-align: center;">Krisztian Hofstadter work, that was about how much water is being used to produce milk, and symbols for biological and vegetarian products with the sourdough project by </span>Pía Galvez, Valerie Furnham & Emma James. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The response to my work was overwhelming and I got a lot of questions during the opening. The respons was even more intense when someone stepped into one of the carpets. I didn't see it happen, I was in another part of the space, but I loved hearing everyone's version of how it happened!</div>
The temporary state of the work was to my surprise the thing that really made everyone think. Of course this is an important part of my work, but for me there are more layers to it.<br />
The next morning I remade the carpet and we had a review of the exhibition. During the silent critique a nice connection between Sustainability and my ricecarpets was made.<br />
You had to be careful where you stand in the space and that you were constantly aware of the vulnerability of the work. Watching if people didn't stand to close to it, placing your feet with care. It made you think about nature and the environment, that you such be more careful with these vulnerable things.<br />

From 31st March for 2 weeks artists from as far away as Brazil will be converging on Cambridge to debate, discuss and imagine ways of responding to the environmental challenges facing our planet.<br />
<br />
This is the 2nd Cambridge Sustainability Residency run by artists with support from Cambridge School of Art. The 14 selected artists encompass sculpture, moving image, photography and installation and this year include the curator Vanessa Saraceno from Italy and the award winning designer Andrea Bandoni from Brazil.<br />
<br />
The organisers of the residency also wish to build up a network of artists interested in the field of sustainability, and in the spirit of establishing a continuity and to foster relationships they have invited some artists who participated in the first residency to exhibit work alongside the selected artists from this year’s residency.<br />
<br />
The 2 weeks will culminate in an exhibition at the Changing Spaces Gallery on Norfolk Street from 11th to 13th April with the Private View on 10th April from 6 to 8pm.<br />

<br />
<i>"We are delighted to let you know that you have been selected to take part in the Cambridge Sustainability Residency 2014. We were impressed with your work, ideas and reasons for wishing to take part and look forward to working with you from 31st March to 11th April in Cambridge."</i><br />
<br />
You can imagine how happy I was with that in my inbox! I still can't really believe it, but on Sunday 30th of March I will be taking a train to Cambridge and the next morning my residency will start. I will try to keep you posted om my blog, and of course make a post when I get back.<br />
<br />
<i>"The aspiration of this residency therefore is to maintain a focus of attention on the preciousness and fragility of the planet and to break down boundaries in thinking in order to generate positive solutions that are personal, practical and political."</i><br />
<br />
The residency program is full of wonderful workshops, visits and talks. We start of with a presentation about ourselves on monday 31th of March and end with an exhibition from 11 till 13 of April.<br />

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of <a href="http://woobox.com/cd94jd/vote/for/1741837">Vlisco's True Original 'Angelina' design</a>, they invited Facebookfans to draw an outfit made out of the Angelina fabric.* I participated with a dress on paper as well. I'm not so good in making things smaller, so I painted the dress in the size it would be if it was a real dress. A flat dress that is. <br />
The contest works with a voting system, and the design with the most votes wins. I got a lot of likes and votes, thank you, but not nearly so much as the ones that are probably going to win. I hope they make a real dress when they win the limited edition Angelina fabric!<br />
<br />
I really enjoyed reproducing a pattern again. Lately I mostly create my own and it's been a while since I had to unravel a pattern. I enjoy this proces because you learn to see the logic of a pattern and really get to know it. It is a wonderful design and I think the creator of it really had a great time making it. It's no wonder that this Vlisco is so popular and I wish Angelina a good birthday ;)!<br />

<i>"Difficult Time", acrylic on paper, 2011</i><br />
<br />
Sometimes making a work is like growing a plant. You put the seed in the ground, cover it with rich soil and water it. Then you wait, wait till the little green plant shows its head, sometimes still wearing the seed as a hat. <br />
My work 'Difficult Time' has been growing for almost 3 years now. In december of 2010 I started making my own design for a Batik Pagi-Sore (Day-Night Batik). I painted the design on paper with acrylic. I based the measurements on Batik Hokokai's using images from different Batikbooks. On my blog <a href="http://dereisnaarbatik.blogspot.nl/2012/03/difficult-time.html">De reis naar Batik / The journey to Batik </a> I wrote a post about my work 'Difficult Time' in March of 2012.* In this post you can read all about were I got my inspiration from for this work.<br />
I made the design hoping it could be turned into a real Batik. Friday the 29th of november there was a surprise in my mailbox. Photos of two Batiks made after my Batik Pagi-Sore design 'Difficult Time'. My design was made into two Batiks by the talented Ibu Maryati of <a href="http://dereisnaarbatik.blogspot.nl/2009/10/jeruk.html">Jeruk</a> village. I realized then, that although I have been working on this project since I first put my brush to paper, I haven't written about it on my website. <br />
<br />
In October of 2009 I visited Java to learn about the art of Batik. I spent one month in Indonesia and met a lot of great people from the batik industry and the art scene. I was hoping to return very soon, but my health and finances had other plans for me. A difficult time for me started, but I also started to learn about Batik from books and by googling. Batik kept inspiring me and I used my travel-blog to share my newly learned facts and discoveries. <br />
If I couldn't go to Indonesia to learn about and how to make Batik, I had to think of ways to learn about it here. I started visiting museums, even depots, to see Batiks and other beautiful things to do with Indonesian culture. I got in contact with other fans of this great heritage and Facebook turned out to be a great way to keep in touch.<br />
<br />
On my journey on Java I met a dear friend and inspiring Batik expert William Kwan. Since 2000 he started up different projects, IPI, on Java to restore, rebuild and research the Batik culture.** In October 2009 I visited one of his projects in Jeruk. It was the most beautiful and inspiring place I visited during my journey to Batik! In Jeruk 12 women make and create their own Batiks. They also teach their daughters the technique and in this way the tradition is passed on to the next generation.<br />

<i>Drawing Sunflowers, September 2011</i><br />
<br />
I wanted to be part of this tradition, I was looking for a way to learn more about Batik and how you make and create it. I also wanted to do something to support this heritage and the wonderful projects of William Kwan. I decided to make my own design for the ladies in Jeruk. I didn't know if the design would ever become a real Batik, that didn't matter, I just started painting. Added patterns and details as the year went by.<br />
A year later my painting was finished and it was time for the next step: transferring it on to tracing paper & sending it by snailmail to Indonesia. Read about that soon in part II! <br />

Op zaterdag 19 & zondag 20 oktober gaf ik bij <a href="http://www.taman-indonesia.nl/">Dierenpark Taman Indonesia</a> in Kallenkote de "Er was eens een Batikspin" workshop. Met wasco & ecoline toverden we het verhaal van de Batikspin te voorschijn. Welke dieren ontmoette hij nog meer uit het dierenpark? <br />
De kinderen gingen eerst schetsen maken in het dierenpark van de BatikSpin en een ander dier, om het daarna om te zetten in hun eigen Batikontwerp. Maar liefst 26 kinderen maakten een mooi kunstwerkje bij mij dat weekend!<br />

Op zaterdag 2 november gaf ik een Herfstworkshop op de Buurtspektakel-workshopdag bij Basisschool KBS de Liniedoorn. Van 12u tot 15u konden kinderen een ansichtkaart met envelop bedrukken met bladeren. Maar liefs 42 kaarten zijn gemaakt!<br />
<br />
<b>Op zondag 17 november geef ik dezelfde workshop bij de Buurtsalon Linie in Breda.<br />
We starten de dag met een wandeling door het Liniepark waarbij het juiste materiaal verzameld wordt. <br />
Tijdens de workshop ga je twee A5 kaarten met envelop bedrukken. De kosten voor de workshop zijn € 5,- per persoon voor 2 kaarten met envelop incl. drinken & iets lekkers<br />
<br />
Aanmelden kan tot 11 november via vlinder@sabinebolk.nl<br />
<br />
Hopelijk tot daar!</b><br />

Tijdens de <a href="http://www.kokendekunst.nl/">Tussen Kunst & Kitchen</a> Kunstnacht editie op 28 september heb ik vanaf 18u tot ongeveer 20.30u een rijsttapijtje gelegd voor het dinerende publiek. Ik hoopte al lang iets te kunnen doen bij deze leuke organisatie die in de zomermaanden een mooie combi van kunst en lekker eten serveren in de Willem II. Nu kon ik plots tijdens de Kunstnacht van 28 september in Den Bosch mijn werk komen maken. Muzikaal werd ik begeleid door <a href="http://koendewit.com/">Koen de Wit</a> op klarinet en tambura. Bij deze een klein fotoverslag van begin tot het einde toen het publiek het rijsttapijtje mocht "vernietigen".<br />

De behanginstallatie 'Little Nana's Cape' was te zien in de Grote Kerk in Breda van 1 t/m 4 september 2013. <br />
Voor de behanginstallatie heb ik mij laten inspireren door verschillende volksverhalen over migrerende vlinders oftewel trekvlinders. De titel verwijst naar de Azteken god Nanahuatzin die slechts gehuld in een papieren gewaad zich in het vuur wierp om de zon te worden. <br />
