A WINDOW TO [3] JILLY EVANS
12/05/21 – 30/06/21

a window to is a project beginning with an email invitation sent to different artists and creators.* The correspondence project considers the window as not only a viewing point but also a space of potential (This is your window of opportunity!) and a point of separation, longing or distance (Like ‘The girl reading a letter at an open window’ by Vermeer.) Each recipient was asked if they would like to respond to this theme, the result then to be displayed in Het Musuem Van.

Jilly responded with a hand-embroidered facemask and a letter in which she wrote:
"In March 2020, my world, like everyone's was taken over by Covid 19[...] The meditative quality of stitching started to diffuse some of the adrenaline and gave me time to reflect on the impact of being alive in a global pandemic"
