In the charcoal drawings the light and the dark are the carriers of the moment, maybe even a story. Moments that are captured before they are lost. There is still a shadow, a reflection of light, an object half visible in the dark, falling out of the frame. The fragile or intangible leftovers that remain. Petra sends her imagination to moments we all know. At the same time she almost draws her subjects away; the actual theme is how the light manipulates the things into a shape. (From a text by Chantal Breukers, 2024).
