Could our relationship with nature best be compared to a long-distance relationship? We idealize from a distance, arrange encounters and compare them with our expectations. The reality of life is alienated, a state that is not suitable as a permanent solution. In her painterly work, Susanne Henny Kolp explores various strategies for dealing with the natural environment from picture to picture. The ancient idea of fluidity, as a counterpart to our empathy, finds expression here, as do contemporary ideas of objectification and demarcation.
