Drawing Encounters
Untitled (2023) Compressed charcoal, pencil & photo print on Hahnemühle paper, 84x118 cm
Searching for unexpected encounters and resonance between abstract black and white drawings and landscapes to which I have a deep connection. As I shift and adjust the lighting, I suddenly land on something new. An image with an urgency that catches me off guard and tells me it has to stay. In most cases these images form the bases for a further iteration of drawing, extending the dialogue between drawing, place and process.

Exit Music Video (2023)
Music video made in close collaboration with cellist and composer Saartje van Camp (o.a. Spinvis) as part of a larger commission. The music video functions as the closing theme of the philosophical video essay ‘If the truth were a witch…’, in which we see the main protagonist move from the ‘lonely but certain truth’ he found in solipsism, to reconciling himself with a different notion of truth grounded in an evolving multiplicity of selves and others.
For the production of this work, I brought drawing into relation with time based images of nature and body, by using several layers of drawings, and video footage of the forest and the three female artist that feature in the video essay. The layers and entanglements resonate with the idea of an evolving multiplicity of relations and perspectives as ground.

Seedling drawings
(2021-2022)
A selection of drawings that were made in the first year of my studio practice ‘I am Seedling Seeding”. These works were the result of experimenting with a layered process of photography, printing and drawing in which a figure is rendered two dimensional and brought into relation with abstract and hand drawn geometrical forms and structures. The initial photo captures a moment of physical presence and intention, which is stretched out beyond that moment through a dialogue with what is drawn and vice versa.
