Everything and everyone is stardust. That is the central theme in the work of Petra Poolen:
"For me, we are all interconnected. The contact on a micro and macro level and its beauty move me and allow me to be part of a larger whole. In my experience, this connection also transcends time."
"I use the technique of Japanese papermaking. I make pulp from abaca fiber and use it to cast large sheets of paper. In this wet paper, I create compositions using various techniques. Another Japanese technique I like to use is Sashiko. This technique is centuries old and features beautiful symbolic patterns. By working with it, I feel connected to artists and craftspeople throughout time, keeping that connection alive. In this way, I shape my visual narrative through the interplay of fiber, water, and other matter, continuing until I feel that sense of interconnectedness."
