Security connectors

© Jack Kruf (2021) Security connectors [fine art print]. Breda: Private collection.

Security comes with a network of connectors. In fact always, ecosystemically spoken. It is the network of interactions and a set of feed-back loops in between, which in fact create the resilience and related defence mechanism of an organism. ‘Together we are strong’ is one of the variants. Well, what is your personal state, that of your organisation or the community you take care for?

Summer in Tuscany

© Jack Kruf (2005) Summer in Tuscany [fine art print]. Breda: Private collection.

On this final wet and windy day of 2022 I remember the summer we spent in Tuscany in 2003. It was harvest time. The landscape between Florence and Siena showed its DNA. What a light, what a collection of gold, orange and yellow.

Frosty Grass

The frosty grass shows itself in winter time in the wetlands as a collection of sticky beacons of survival. Icy sculptures on a very cold morning.

Olive Desert

I know that olives and olive oil are healthy food products and preferred by many in a variety of perfect dishes. Travelling through to this Spanish landscape though what stands out is the almost absurd dominance of the olive tree monoculture. The landscape stretches itself out as a desert, where all other life is banned. Just earth and olive trees. We know how vulnerable monocultures can be. A risky landscape.

The Circus

© Jack Kruf (2020). The Circus in Bath [fine art print]. Breda: Private collection.

The Circus in the city of Bath is a historic ring of large townhouses, forming a circle with three entrances. It is architecturally spoken a form of art, putting living in a circle in a new (geometrical) dimension. The brownish colour palette is unique on this summers day.
