Zeevaarders focuses on chance moments or discoveries, which she records with her camera or captures in sketches. These “finds” become the starting point for new work in her studio. The resulting works range from prints and drawings to experiments with natural pigments and large-scale woven tapestries, all connected within a visual archive.
The development of Zeevaarders’ work goes hand in hand with a growing critical ecological awareness, which shapes her perspective as an artist.
