Z.t. (Weesperplantsoen),
2019
Series of seven paintings, oil paint on canvas
Kennemerduinen,
2019
Three paintings, 30 x 30 cm, 60 x 60
cm, 60 x 80 cm, acrylic paint on canvas
Kennemerduinen: for most of us a sunny infinite dunescape. At the same time the place contains other narratives i.e.: nature as a commodity made for our convenience, nature as a place for murder in second World War. All is mirroring in the landscape, what is in the backdrop and what in the front?
Selfportrait, 2019
Woollen rug, handmade by Textile Museum Tilburg, diameter 2 metres and a space of 8 x 4 metres
A hard graphical image transformed into a soft and tactile rug and put in space. The image is a visualisation of my results of a psychological test on dimensions of relating to others. A contradiction in terms: rationalizing and deconstructing feeling?
Ysselsteyn, 2018
Five paintings, 50 x 60 cm each,
acrylic paint on canvas
Ysselsteyn War Cemetery is a controversial place in the Netherlands. All Nazis who died during World War II on Dutch soil were reburied here in the 1950s. Currently, the place is given a new meaning: initiatives of peace dialogue. Yet neo-Nazis still have commemorations here.
Z.t. (Root Glacier), 2017
Woollen fabric, fiberglass poles, salt,
sugar, Indian ink, plastic bottle. Variable dimensions.
A controlled structure in which a process is facilitated that cannot be controlled: a crystallization.
