In this project, entitled ‘Gezelschap’, I documented my Nana’s silver spoon collection, which she collected throughout her life in the Netherlands. Altogether, the collection consists of 25 silver spoons. With this project, I wanted to draw a connection between the spoon collection and the idea of keeping each other company and enjoying time together. As the spoons were frequently used when my Nana had family or friends over for coffee or tea, they represent the idea of ‘gezelschap’ to me, which means ‘being together with someone’ in Dutch. The spoons also document some important moments in Dutch history.
