In mijn mixed media werk onderzoek ik identiteit in een landschap waarin ik normatieve grenzen bevraag. Behalve in het platte vlak en met camera, werk ik ook met beweging en dans.
In my art I intend to question boundaries, question underlying mechanisms of societal and system structures that influence the way we become. In this landscape of more or less forcing normativity I try to unframe and redefine the ways of relating ourselves to the world. Expressing the embodiment of the here and now; embracing the soft forces. In my work I focus on the body, the focal point of being, of our presence and identity.
In making art I use various media. This may be in a mixed and layered manner e.g. in an installation. I sometimes work interdisciplinary integrating movement, word, sound.
I have a special passion for dance and movement, in which I both feel concentration and freedom. Moving means experiencing the body in relation to space and time. In somatic work and instant composition I explore reading and articulation. It feels enriching and gives an additional dimension to the visual art work I make.
