Marjorie Van Halteren, an ex-pat from Detroit and New York City, lives in a village in northern France. I live in Brooklyn, NY.
A love of audio theater brought us together - Marjorie directed, and I acted - in a play performed and produced at the National Audio Theater Festivals, in Missouri, but Käthe Kollwitz and the themes of war and loss brought us together as independent audio artists under the logo of Entre Deux Amies.
The life and art of Käthe Kollwitz always fascinated me. When my husband was killed aboard Pan Am Flight 103 in 1988, I knew the incomparable loss she suffered when her son was killed in 1914, during the opening weeks of World War One. For the rest of her life, Käthe Kollwitz used her art in the service of her grief and opposition to war. Two of her sculptures, Die trauernden Eltern (The Grieving Parents), stand in the German Soldiers cemetery near Vladslo, Belgium, where her son is buried. Marjorie lives thirty minutes from those statues and we went to visit them together.
We envisioned a trilogy that explores the impact of violence and loss on the earth itself, as well as in our lives, and the ways in which we heal.,
