Some bronze age stops in our Sweden road trip up north: drawings that were ‘in use’ between 6,000 and 1,000 years ago - near the magnificent Flatruet (broken arrow points nearby suggest the drawings were shot at), and a beautiful stone ship (apprx. 4,000 years old) near Strömstad.

Preparing for a studio visit tomorrow AND the presentation of the virtual sculpture Tools (v004) at the Flemish Royal Academy for Science and the Arts in Brussels next week.
I do seem to accumulate a lot of equipment, I noticed. I buy used mostly, and repurpose them for art. Artistic refurbishing!

Hive mind of the interwebs! Can anyone tell me something about this vessel I found in an Antwerp thrift shop? It looks old, but I can’t find similar shapes to compare.
(I have a thing for old, basic pottery, so couldn’t resist taking this one home 😀)

Hey kids! Check out my totally revamped website! I tried to keep it as lean as possible, but could not resist turning the landing page into a circus, with all the browser-based fun and what not. It even has a little shop!
Quick, go here: alexandracrouwers.com

One of the main issues with the lack of environmental action is caused by too many people in this region thinking that pollution and waste are developing countries’ problems, simply because our cities, gardens and highways look ‘clean’. Air quality in Antwerp today and yesterday: “horrible”.
