Ann Veronica Janssens stimulates perceptions. Her work waits for a viewer with whom to enter into a relationship and play on the interaction of opposites – empty and full, open and closed. You are permitted to (cautiously) enter the space. As a result of a simple change – the addition of pebbles – you experience the space in a completely different way, with a different awareness. Using very simple, almost serene means, she achieves a powerful result.
