Kovikshamn is a small hamlet in Sweden where Thijs Kauffmann (Leiden, 1974) has worked in recent years. It is located on the west coast north of Gothenburg on a natural harbor and has 55 inhabitants. Since Kauffmann did not have a studio in Sweden, he started working outside. For someone who was used to living in a city, the space and freedom that working in nature offers is a relief. It stimulates the senses and increases consciousness. In this environment, reflections and ideas emerge spontaniously. Kauffman: “I see the perfection in the structures of rocks and in the composition of pine needles that have fallen to the ground. There seems to be a natural logic in this, as if it could not have been otherwise. I brought this sense back to the Netherlands. “
