Collages, drawings and paintings
Decline plays an prominent role in the work of Chrys Steegmans. Places which man considered to be useful for his economic purposes at some point in the past, but which are left a long time ago. Deserted stone quarries, coalmines, factories or barracks are the source of inspiration for the photo collages.
