During a long sea journey of her beloved Iris Tonies made Logbook, a report of her longing and sorrow. “It took so long and I wanted to be there so bad… I started making a diary, because I wanted to make the time tangible. Thus I travelled along in my images.”
Logbook is a waterfall of thoughts and ideas that pours down fierce and uncontrolled.

Nomadic installation

About 131.000 blue ice-lolly sticks are used to make ‘nomadic installation’ (7,5 X 2,5 X 2,5 [m]). Iris Tonies “By gluing the sticks for weeks in a kind of trance, I transform the in itself worthless material to aesthetic shapes.” The sticks are sort of tumbled on each other in a natural way, like in a pleated skirt. The result is an organic, female shape that ‘grows from the building’. “The massive quantities make you forget they are actually ice-lolly sticks. They create a rhythm, like drops in a wave or swell, that flushes through the space.”
