Drifting II by Marijke Lambregtse is the third (first one found it’s forever home) powerful, thick layered artwork I made on the subject of Lembongan Island. I do love these paintings a lot especially because of the layering and collage of old stamps, letters and parts of this poem ‘Seaweed’ by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow I used in these works. The cultivation of seaweed on Lembongan island is still very strong and a great source of income for the local population especially when things like COVID happen and there are no tourists so at least they can go back to what original their way of living was which is great. I loved the little original wooden boats and happy to see them as the speed boats are all over the place which is disturbing the sea life, a major pollutant for the coral of which sadly is not much left (hence the beautiful orange pigment I used) as well as a noise pollution and very frustrating. It’s still a beautiful island and you can sit for hours watching the gathering and planting of seaweed especially during the sunset. As usual in my latest works you can find the little guardian…
