Smederij II (Forge), onderdeel van de Spoorzone serie (part of the Railway zone series)

The Spoorzone in Tilburg, spanning 75 hectares, holds a fascinating history as a hub for the repair and maintenance of trains and locomotives dating back to 1920. In a visionary move, the city council acquired the area in 2010, ushering in a transformative era. The once industrially focused space has now evolved into a vibrant, modern district seamlessly integrating residential, commercial, and educational elements.

Jacqueline, captivated by the Spoorzone even before its revitalization, dedicated years to exploring its nuances. Her exploration served as the muse for an entire series of artwork, each piece reflecting the complex's historical significance and its incredible potential to meet the evolving needs of today's society. Jacqueline's artistic expression beautifully captures the intersection of the Spoorzone's rich past and its promising future as a dynamic and adaptive contributor to contemporary urban life. The Forge is part of the Spoorzone.
