Chantal van Rijt
ENG
The practice of Chantal van Rijt is driven by experimentation. Like a contemporary alchemist, she dives into the material stories of plants, animals and other natural substances. Inspired by researching histories and possible futures, she often takes a single point and lets it unravel into an extended landscape. Her subjects are found in the organic realm as well as in the clinical cradle of a laboratory. Protagonists that have made an appearance in the work are woodworms, the sun, the deadly taxus baccata and the earstone of a fish.

De praktijk van Chantal van Rijt wordt gedreven door experiment. Als een hedendaagse alchemist duikt ze in de materiële verhalen van planten, dieren en andere natuurlijke substanties. Geïnspireerd door het onderzoeken van geschiedenissen en mogelijke toekomsten, neemt ze vaak een enkel punt en laat dat uitrafelen tot een uitgebreid landschap. Haar onderwerpen zijn zowel terug te vinden in de organische wereld als in de klinische wieg van een laboratorium. Protagonisten die al zijn voorgekomen in het werk zijn houtwormen, de zon, de dodelijke taxus baccata en de oorsteen van een vis.
