This work is based on a poem/text that Hendrik Werkman wrote for his self-published magazine ‘The Next Call’ no. 9 in 1926, in his frustration towards his fellow-artist and Ploeg-members. Werkman is one of my favourite artists and this text represents for me the ongoing struggle of the artist about how, for what and whom and especially the why of making art.
