Book: The Eternity beneath the Bathtub
My book is finally ready! What started out as a project for myself at the
start of this year has become something I feel proud of to share with others.
50 pages of dreamy illustrations and surreal childhood memories of
mine are ready to be read.
The title "The Eternity beneath the Bathtub" is based on a childhood memory of mine.
Our bathtub was not free standing, and when you knocked against the bottom of it while
being inside it made a hollow sound (because of the small space between the tub wall and
the floor) and I imagined that space to be huge, endless and universe-like and sometimes
I was worried the tub would break loose off the bathroom and fall into that hole with me.
So I was always rather careful not to move around too much.
2008 I did a painting based on that memory as well. You can see if if you click here
I'd like to share a few pages with you here:
The last picture was taken while working on one of the illustrations at night.
Pearls of wet waterolour are glittering on the cellotape around the edge of
the paper. It seems like each drop has a universe of its own.
