Monica Maat

The poem: ‘Armed Cross’, by Monica Maat was written in response to the 2014 death anniversary. Based on this poem, Monica created an installation triptych. [See images of installations titled: Armed Cross]. As can be read in the poem, it is about *three events in world history, which are symbolised in the installation triptych. The works were on display at Gallery Loods 32 in Lelystad on the occasion of the exhibition ‘Dood Spoor’. You can read more at the previous image. The poem can also be read in art magazine CUNST.
