Catalogue Note
"Live to the fullest, sometimes to the extreme. To love, to experience love and life in its extreme pain and happiness." These two forces create magnificent strokes and a pulling energy to Ay Tjoe's works. They possess a certain mystery and riddle which we are enthralled and attracted to unlock. Like a closed door with the key outside, Ay Tjoe dares us to open her inner most intimate and barest secret. Courageous, raw, authentic and passionate are words that describe who Christine is.
