My work consists of paper objects and drawings. I attend education at the Minerva Academy in Groningen (school of thought: Interdisciplinary). I often work and enjoy residencies abroad such as Spain and America; especially New Mexico is very inspiring to me.
I often bring elements from nature, objects from paper and pencil and ink drawings together in an installation that I then call a visual poem. You can move through the installation in a way that you would read a poem: from image to image, from one stanza to another. In these sometimes theatrical settings you can experience an atmosphere of lightness and melancholy.
