BIO

As a visual artist I bring together practice and reflection, using installations, essays, workshops and collaborative projects to question how art might create space for shared experience and ethical thought. Alongside my practice I teach at St. Joost School of Art & Design and conduct research at the Centre of Applied Research for Art, Design and Technology (CARADT), and I work collectively as part of YAFF.

A Moral Anatomy of an Artichoke
Ecological cotton, cotton thread, fillings
170 (w) x 120 (h)

(2022)


For A Moral Anatomy of an Artichoke, I translated a theoretical concept, hospitality, into visual metaphors. This quilt is based on a self-authored essay and serves as a symbolic representation of the moral dilemmas discussed therein. The work centres on the question: what role does the human play in welcoming the other?

Exhibited at Studio de Gruyter, Tilburg
