Resume
Born in Amsterdam and often relocated, also abroad, it's no surprise that the ever-changing is part of my visual work.
Trained as a visual artist working with all kinds of materials including textile has made me sensitive to surfaces. The drawings and the painted drawings are made by putting many layers on top of each other and have a textile-like surface.
In my drawings I explore sight, the ever-changing, time and complementary concepts like straightness and fluidity, wholeness and the partial.
