"Joke Frima (1952), a meticulous painter, zooms in with precision on green plants in her compositions. Pumpkins, ivy, corn stalks and lotus leaves, and little else. Because of the low viewpoint she takes -Frima appears to be lying in the grass- you quickly creep into these still lifes, making up paths through the foliage. In the dense foliage you can explore."
