The title refers to “The Grass is Blue” by Dolly Parton, a song in which reality is reversed as a way of coping with loss. In Flo Bastiaensen’s work, this reversal is not an escape, but a way of making space for something else.

The images carry the atmosphere of a family weekend in nature—not literally, but as a feeling. Figures are not specific, yet remain familiar. Something between memory and imagination.

Colors shift, things feel slightly off. Her work approaches naïvety as a form of freedom: the ability to see differently, beyond what is fixed.

“What if it’s not about what is true, but about what becomes possible when we dare to see otherwise?”
