In the earth's crust, tectonic plates shift only a few centimeters per year, and thereby move in two ways: they push and they pull. This phenomenon creates mountains, volcanoes, cliffs and valleys - all held together by boundlessly stacked layers of stone. Society moves and changes in very similar ways. Karen Vermeren’s continuous, ever-changing artistic investigation reflects the equally ceaseless stream of physical changes in the many landscapes she explores.
