The 2 gobelin tapestries: The Final Light and Sunset above the Voert form a harmonious entirety.
The dark and red colours gradually blend into each other, when hung together. The Voert is a small country-lane in Bergen NH where many painters (like the Bergense School, among others) have tried to catch the beautiful landscape and delicate light with their brushes.

Morgenkrieken.

The title 'Morgenkrieken' comes from a song that my mother used to sing when I was a little girl:

"Egg , tomorrow sees the crack,

holdriejeé , holdiejo ,

He ascends on golden wings .... etc “

As a child I always thought it was about a bird, because of the "egg" and "wings".

Only much later did I understand that "Morgenkrieken" means the daybreak. In this tapestry I wanted to express both, the bird as well as the sunrise.
