“Pflanzliches verb 6 (Plant verb 6)”, subtitle “jeg vil samle mine blomster Og forære dem. Til hvem?” 29 x 24 cm, 2025, Ink and acrylic on paper

Created during Kaja Meyer's residency in Sweden with Pentiment.

Artists statement:

"The works I am showing in this exhibition is about looking at the world in times of grief. Looking for traces of what has been lost.

"You have gone across the court, further and further, drawing thinner and thinner the thread between us. But you exist somewhere. Something of you remains." (Virginia Woolf, The Waves)

A dear friend told me that flowers are ghosts, or spirits (the German Geist means both) they have their own will power and their emotional life.

The nature around is doesn’t statically exist, it’s not just a beach, it is actively being a beach, being a tree, mud and mist on the marches. I feel nature looking back at me, wanting good things. I felt it earlier, but in grief I feel it stronger, maybe because it is needed with need more urgent.

It is this contact I bring to the studio. I’ve called the series of smaller works Plant Verb, wanting to explore and to welcome this sensation. The sub title is about the gestures which should have been for a person now gone." - Kaja Meyer
