This work is about the gesture of holding. It's about the tension between things holding up, supporting, so others can fold and fall over. We see this gesture all around us in daily life: in relationships, in nature, in our built environment. By isolating this moment, capturing its simplicity and using materials in a very straightforward way, this work displays simultaneously the looming danger of things falling over, as well as the serenity of things that are in perfect balance.

brought together the work of Hannah deJonge, Fanny Ågren and Nele Bergmans. It traces their mutual interest in repetitions of form, material, subject matter and process. Expanding on previous work, research and interests, the artists seek to investigate the impact of reiteration on their artistic process and the trajectory of their work.
