TOOLS OF THE TRADE

How linoleum changed my artistic life.
For my graduation at Art school in 1989 I was working with found objects. While roaming around on building sites I found a roll of lino. So, I started to cut and print. At first in black and white. Using a wooden spoon to press and print. My husband, at the time, bought me a Picasso book about his linocuts. We were very poor those times, so I was curious how he could give me such an expensive book. He explained: he priced the book off himself with an offer sticker he took from another book. After studying the pictures of the Picasso prints, nearly all in reduction technic, I started to print in multiple colours. I was successful with my first series of colour prints, sold them to the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen. Still I could barely keep my head above water financially and could not buy a press. Years after a boyfriend built me a wooden spoon machine. He came from the ex Sovjet Republic of Georgia, so he knew how to deal with a lack of machinery.  He improvised my Oubedouri machine (Oubedouri means poor). The machine consisted of an electronic drill with woodblocks circling, and mechanical arm. In 1995 I had to move and I got a relocation fee, which I totally spent on a press which is specially built for me. It is a Rocco etching press with two roles of 80 cm wide moving separately. This helped me to make large editions. I had multiple commissions and I could afford me a drying rack. Politics changed and large companies as well as Art Lending Libraries sold there overload of collection. The market for prints in edition was crashing. Because of this lack of market I choose to don’t let go of my favourite material but experimented to use it in a different way. In 2005 I started to print on wood. That is why I bought an electric jigsaw. Initially I used the structure of the wood as a canvas. Soon I started to use the fact that you can multiply by printing and I used the layers glued together. I did started to teach in primary schools and I was looking for more interaction. In 2019 I moved my studio and press to a collective building in an old school building called Wijkpaleis (Neighbourhood Palace). In this building I found both the school which is still on the top floor as the neighbours to work with me.  Other creative entrepreneurs inspired me to use an other machine which is available to use in the public space: the sewing machine. Together with the neighbours I made a gigantic book about the neighbourhood park. Printing in lino, in etching, in stamps and added machinal broderies to it.  Last year I casted with another entrepreneur of the Wijkpaleis, Hanna Kerkhof, concrete tiles of a lino mould. I miss sometimes the printing on paper, the sensitivity and fragility of it. So, on top of all those experiments, I never stopped to print on paper.



I listen Spotify on my mobile phone, I don’t have a Hifi corner.

De gum, die is belangrijk voor mij. En dan vooral de kneedgum. Ik weet niet of ik snel ontevreden ben, of gewoon bang ben dat het niet goed genoeg is. Met die gum kan ik altijd opnieuw beginnen. Ik zou ‘m eigenlijk links moeten laten liggen en mezelf wat meer moeten vertrouwen wanneer ik teken. Maar die gum zorgt ook voor toeval. Dan begin ik niet opnieuw, maar ga ik met (door die gum veroorzaakte) nieuwe mooie stukjes door. Ik gum er mee, ik teken er ook mee.  Eigenlijk altijd! Belangrijk ding dus. Die gum.
Overigens, die kneedgum is ook nog eens een hele fijne fidged toy ;)

In my new petit ‘studio’ there is no more room for an installation. I had to say bye to the HiFi corner. But that’s how it works!

TOOLS OF THE TRADE
> what tools and materials changed your life? <


When I was 15 years old I didn’t understand how taking pictures with an analog camera and printing in the darkroom worked. Photography was total magic to me. Now I know how it works, photography is still magic and I still prefer to work with the analog camera and the darkroom. In addition to my photography, I started looking for other possibilities and techniques to visualize the world around me. That’s how I discovered that painting with oil paints allowed me to look at things in a new way. Now in addition to my photography, there is always the possibility to paint my subjects.


I like tools that are well made and can therefore last forever. My Rolleiflex camera, for example, was made in 1970 and still works perfectly. It has a superb lens and I can measure light and take pictures without the use of a battery. I also like the innocent classic appearance of the camera.

TOOLS OF THE TRADE

A tool for ‘’burning and dodging’’.
It can either be a piece of paper with a hole poked through or some iron wire with a little bit duct tape at the end. I often find these tools very imaginative, joyous, DIY and an inherent part of darkroom work.

TOOLS OF THE TRADE
> what tools and materials changed your life? <


When I arrived in Holland, I felt free to realize my long-standing desire to paint with hammer and nails, with a saw, screwdriver and chisel. I immediately set to work and to this day I work with discarded wood, a material that has changed my life. I like the fact that the whole picture is not under my control, and that it was actually painted by someone else. That is how the society gets involved in the work, besides me. This gives me the impression (or maybe just a hope) that my work is more objective.

TOOLS OF THE TRADE

Tools of the Trade:
-Large brush for broad strokes, used for murals and large canvasses
-Steel Master hammer, don’t leave home without it
-Liquitex painters knife, my favorite model for thick oil paint works
-Recently I bought a grinder since I started to work on bronze sculptures
-Marabu spray can. This typical 90’s model brought me closer to other art materials. When I was a teenage graffiti vandal I always checked out artist supply shops for spray paint. In a way you could say it changed my life, making the bridge from spray paint to oil paint and anything that comes with that…

TOOLS OF THE TRADE
> what tools and materials changed your life? <


My tool of trade is a 1998 Stihl 066 chainsaw. It’s a heavy chainsaw that I used a lot to fell large trees, but also for making sculpture. When I was living in eastern Germany, I painted it in black-white-red, decorated it with nazi symbols, because my neighbors were neonazis and I wanted to diss them. 
One night they were drunk and shouting “Heil Hitler”. So I walked over in my pyama, chainsaw in hand, and told them that the 1000 year Reich only lasted 12 years, so there must have been something wrong with the concept. They did not shout evil things again. 


Other tools are my sharpening stone, special hammer and mini-anvil to hone and sharpen my scythe. I stopped mowing by machine this year and mowed 6 weeks non stop with scythe in two nature areas here on the island. The work took only 2 weeks extra without use of a machine. It was beautiful to work without noise, to see the animals come back. Seen a see eagle floating by pretty close several times while mowing. Next summer we’ll start courses in scythe-mowing for people who want to learn this skill. 

If anybody wants to join next Juli/August: feel free to contact me on: nepa.skatoy@gmail.com
Housing and food can be arranged and it’s always free to put up a tent at my field!

His Name is Alive – A silver thread, home recordings 1979-1990 (4 cd-set) – 2021
Unconstrainedly enforcing the most beautiful, that is His Name is Alive. Very nice boxset.

The Selva + Machinefabriek – Barbatrama – 2021
Playful, melodious, adventurous record. It doesn’t always have to be so difficult.

Cabaret Voltaire – 2 x 45 – 1982
Richard H Kirk passed away this year, next to his solo work, this one came up again. It has lost none of its eloquence.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HRovfJW0Lc&list=PLHP7bAjOIkpCEtwQ08OxoSq475bqrq7dK

Jos Smolders & Jim O’Rourke – Additive Inverse (on Moving Furniture Records) – 2021
Concentrated listening through an extraordinary soundscape when you need a studio break for about 40 minutes.

Steve Reich – Phases (5 cd-set on Nonesuch) – 2008
It was 2021 that Steve Reich really came through for me. Good music while drawing.

Sam Prekop – Spelling – 2021
Most modular stuff passes me by, but I could have this one on for days while I was working.

Machinefabriek – With Drums (on Esc.Rec) – 2021
Intelligent thought-out record, Machinefabriek at his best! An enrichment for your studio activities.

Clarice Jensen – The experience of repetition as death -2020
Another record that can resound through my studio all day without losing any concentration.

Olivia Block – Innocent Passage in the Territorial Sea – 2021
Strong combinations of sound from different genres.

Yann Novak – Lifeblood of light and rapture – 2021
Extremely concentrated balancing act, very nice while editing video.

Zonder goede koffie geen leven


Vorig jaar weer begonnen met tekenen na zo’n 20 jaar. En de EDDING R10 gum is onmisbaar als tekenmateriaal. Maar het drama is dat de R10 niet meer wordt gefabriceerd. Dit is mijn laatste laatste exemplaar. Hierna moet ik het met de kleinere versie doen.



Nieuw in de collectie een motortje voor op statief om met de videocamera perfecte 360 graden opnamen te kunnen maken. Nog niet perfect want ik wil ‘m trager kunnen laten draaien. Dat wordt dus uit elkaar halen…


Altijd zorgen dat als het ertoe doet mijn ZOOM in de buurt is. Je weet maar nooit waar een opname goed voor is.


Siberisch krijt, hoe zachter en vetter des te beter.
