Etna in Ciap
Etna in Day & Night
Karen Vermeren derives inspiration from observing physical changes in her environment over time. The focus of her artwork is geological landscapes, which is enforced by her fascination with the power of plate tectonics. Sediment tectonic plates only move a few centimeters each year. They can move in two directions: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent, where plates move apart. These tectonic movements slowly give rise to both mountains and volcanoes. Not only is this key notion supported by scientific knowledge, but also empiric knowledge, which together forms the base for a poetic recognition and, at the same time, make a metaphorical approach possible. As the landscapes change, society changes too. These continuous cycles are hardly visible, but they are evidently tangible.
