Regarding nature and abstraction, we’ve now explored a few ways of doing this, of getting into a more abstract form. In this impulse I would like to suggest one, which we’ve already mentioned briefly: enlargement. You can enlarge something from nature, a very realistic thing from nature, in a way that the viewer can no longer make the connection of what it's about, even though the contours are drawn from nature. To get there, the easiest way is to go out into nature with a camera and capture certain impressions. Whether that's the landscape, a group of trees, one tree, parts of plants, flowers. Whatever it is, you approach it with a sensitive eye and photograph it. Take several pictures. When you get home, you go to your computer or tablet and look at the photos. With this technology you have the possibility to enlarge the thing by zooming in. You can select a section, which the computer automatically enlarges. The best way to do this is to use the "Crop" function under "Edit" on the computer. So, you can crop exactly what you want to enlarge, what details are interesting. This is very simple.
