"Westerwoldse Aa" 

Museum Het MOW

Bellingwolde, 5 April 2024

 

At museum 'Het MOW".
Petra F.M. Sluijters created this work for the group exhibition "Ons laand" (Our Country). The assignment was: "Create a small artwork on a 40x40 cm panel that depicts an impression of the Westerwold landscape".
Petra chose to paint the Westerwoldse Aa river and write a poem about it. This poem can be heard when with an app on your phone. The images accompanying this poem in the VideoArt also tell the story of the Westerwold landscape.
The painting now hangs with its new owner, a resident of East Groningen, who regularly walks along the Westerwoldse Aa.
