Anna van Suchtelen
Anna van Suchtelen’s Watershawl is “is a tribute to the Dutch and his companionship with water, and in particular the historical highlight of the Holland Waterline.” First constructed in the seventeenth century, the Waterline is a series of water-control measures that allowed for the purposeful flooding of low-lying areas as a defense against enemy invaders. The Watershawl, silk printed with a photograph of water, was conceived by the artist as a similar “protection from an enemy offense and from the elements…a shawl as secret weapon.”
