Sea Stories by Margot de Korte

The last two years I have spent many hours walking along the Dutch beach. Every time the landscape is a little bit different. It’s fascinating how wind and water are responsible for this constant change. The simple lines of the landscape are a big inspiration to me. The people look so tiny in this surrounding.  The atmosphere is melancholic, it makes you wonder about the whereabouts of the people. Where are they heading to? The viewer can make it his own story.

Margot de Korte is a Dutch analog collage artist and a primary school teacher. Her work is minimalistic and often very colorful. The negative space is as important as the positive space in the composition. She has been a member of the Collage Club since 2016. She has been participating in projects organized by Edinburgh Collage Collective, like Glue, Vinylism, and Cut & Post. She has joined the World Collage Atlas exhibition in Belgium in 2019 and the exhibition Game  organized by  the Russian Collage Collective in Moscow in 2021. Her work has been featured in Cut Me Up Magazine, Play and Record, Collage Care, Surrealist dreams by PCC, Corporeal Gestures, and in the yearbooks of Paris Collage Collective.
