Without title
It was the first time that the Association Board commissioned a medal with an abstract design. 'Untitled' is his name; a favorite naming convention for works of art in the 1970s and 1980s. Zijlstra designed a medal that once again shows how relative the term 'abstract' really is. Its design gives a direct association with sandy beach, sea, foam and ashes. Organic, flowing shapes, where the only straight line separates two flat parts. The clay has been smeared over that line with the finger; this invites reflection. The medal is not completely round: a small protrusion enlivens the whole. The reverse gives a nice contrast: it is kept smooth with only the Association's vignette and the artist's signature in the middle.
