Artkamilari 2024

28.9. bis 20.10. 2024

HARRY BARENDSE

I visited Kamilari for the first time in 1980 with my wife Els van Hoorn. In the years to follow we kept on coming back. Since 2018 we live part of the year alternately in Sivas and in Den Bosch in the Netherlands.
The objects I make are an expression of how I feel about Crete. This is strongly determined by a longing for what once was and admiration for the authenticity that is still present.
Most of my work is composed of materials that are marked by time and decay. For instance a worthless burlap sack, driftwood and rusted iron. By bringing together pieces of “worthless junk“, I try to create a new “story“.
I have no education in visual arts. After being a metal worker, among others, I studied clinical psychology and worked in that capacity until I retired. (Photografy Hans Slagter)
