“To realise this work of art I would like to invite you to be part of the creation process. From Monday 6 February through Friday 17 February I’ll be working every day in the Erasmus Gallery. I’d like your help in painting the clay tiles with the same image. The personal gesture of the hand and variations within the repetitive theme are an important part of this work. Following a short introduction to the glazing technique, each participant can paint two tiles. The entire process takes about 15 to 30 minutes. It’s a unique opportunity to help create a work of art that will be exhibited permanently in the new University Library.” – Marijn van Kreij
