In december 2015 vertelde ik al over de verzameling pennen die ik cadeau kreeg van mijn broer, die ze in 1989 in London kocht op de uitverkoop van Philip Poole's pennenwinkel. De voorbije maand ben ik dagelijks bezig geweest met het bekijken (met loep), sorteren en tekenen van pennen. In mijn schetsboek en op losse stukjes papier. Het leuke is dat heel veel van die pennen een naam dragen. Er zijn bijvoorbeeld de Rob Roy pen en de Dickens pen, de golden shoulder pen en de silver swan pen. Mijn bedoeling om een werkstuk over pennen te maken is ondertussen geslaagd en zal binnenkort te zien zijn op een tentoonstelling in Brugge. Volgende week post ik hier meer info.
In December 2015, I already told you about the collection of pens I received as a gift from my brother. He bought them in London in 1989 on the sale of Philip Poole's pen shop. The past month I daily have been viewing (with magnifier), sorting and drawing pens. In my sketchbook and on scraps of paper. The nice thing is that many of these pens have a name. For example, there are the Rob Roy pen and Dickens pen, the golden shoulder pin and the silver swan pen. I have succeeded in my intention to make a final piece of work that will soon be exhibited in Bruges. I'll give all information next week.
