"Jacomijn den Engelsen derives her motifs from the visual and physical experience of her immediate environment, such as the place where she lives and works and the people in her vicinity. She observes and records her experiences through photography and drawing, and later converting results into woodcut.
Jacomijn den Engelsen has a long-lasting fascination with what grows on the plot of land near her house. A microcosm where all life processes occur in seclusion. She sows and grows plants there, which she intends to use for her work. It's not sentimental, but an honest place. There is color, light and dark, and the birds have their nests there. There is also rot, ravages, decay and carrion. From this environment and by following and studying what is happening here, Jacomijn den Engelsen has arrived at the motives with which she now works: the vigor from the light, the solidified moment, the moment of farewell.
It's not about the metaphor in the image, no vanitas symbolism. Jacomijn den Engelsen does not experience morality in the processes around her, but rather the opposite. The sensation that nature 'shows itself', value-free and free from projections, is what she wants to evoke with her work. She wants to get as close as possible to the essence of what she sees and experiences."
