Tinca Veerman has been making black and white collages over the past years, but last year she started working in soft colour tones while searching for the right materials. In her work she is searching for the balance between association and alienation. The subjects she chooses vary from interactions between people, interieurs and portraits. The physical presence of man is absent in these collages. All the time she is asking herself: are we capable of receiving new images, or are we always hooking it up to the ‘thing’ we know from real life and try to connect with that? Looking at Veerman’s work we redefine by watching what’s real and what’s not and that takes some time. She is forcing the viewer to slow down and unpack the construction, to test it’s veracity.
