Margo de Wijk

My name is Margo. I grew up partly in England and now live in Woerden. As an artist I look at what happens around me in my own way. Structures, lines, small things that are often missed. I show that in my work, so that everyone can share in the beauty of nature.

With the Ziltepad I am taking three weeks to pause. To feel where I am right now. I notice that I am getting older and that my time is precious. That makes me choose more carefully. I want to do what gives me energy and make room for what truly matters. This route along the Wadden coast helps with that. The openness of the landscape, the quiet, the churches where you step inside briefly and linger.

I know the feeling of walking for days on end, sometimes without meeting anyone. How that changes your perspective. On the Ziltepad I am looking for that again. Less obligation, more room for what emerges. With a solid wind jacket and a rucksack holding only the essentials I set off. Back to basics. The rest will unfold by itself.
