Since 2005 I am portraying this generation of farmgirls in the Netherlands.
\nThe Dutch countryside is changing. Farms are vanishing rapidly and with them the farm girls. There has always been a divide between townspeople and countrymen. The existence of this divide became tangible to me, a farmgirl myself, when I moved to a town. Since then I neither truly belong in the country nor in the city. The melancholy of this conflict is what I want to show in these portraits.<\/p>\n

This series has been published in Volkskrant Magazine (NL) and has been on show at Photossima Art Fair (IT), TrouwAmsterdam (NL) and the Toonkamer (NL), amongst others.<\/p>\n

Until March 13, 2016 a selection of the series is on show at the exhibition FARMING FOLK ‘Adventures in the Countryside’<\/a> in The Hague Museum of Photography (NL).<\/p>\n
