Bedel van zilver van een molen c. 1953 - 1970

This tiny silver windmill, made by G. Foreman, sits here quietly, but I bet it has a story to tell. It’s so small you might miss it, but that’s often where the magic hides, right? Look at the way the light catches those blades, those little marks – they’re not just decoration, they’re like whispers of the wind itself. I love thinking about how Foreman's process and the tools they used, shaped something so evocative. The silver has a kind of cool, calm feel, but those tiny textures bring so much warmth. There’s something almost naive about it, a sense of wonder. In some ways it reminds me of work by Joseph Cornell, the way a small, contained object can open up whole worlds. It’s a reminder that art doesn’t always need to shout, sometimes the most profound things are the quietest.
