Feathers and dragons

This art project is about healing a traumatic past and changing vulnerability into strength. 

It is about pain, sadness, anger, shame and loss of self-respect. But it is also about courage to face the inner dragon.

 

What has started as my own path to healing, has evolved into the fairytale of the frightened little bird and the dragon. It has been a long term project, which started in June 2011. Now, more than ten years later, I am at the point that I can open my own little museum, in which the story of the frightened little bird and the dragon is portrayed in textile art. Visitors of the museum will find themselves surrounded by a fairytalewood with all the creatures of the fairytale in it.

 

At this website you can meet the main characters of the fairytale, as well as some of the story behind them.
