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.

Pan Colon(s)
Ceramics, various dimensions
(2025)
With Pan Colon(s) I seek a personal, experimental reflection on a specific part of the body:
the colon. This organ marks the final stage where everything the body has absorbed leaves as waste.
The colon is an organ we feel; it can cramp, rumble, behave unpredictably or fall ill. The abdominal
area is also where emotions arise and intuitive decisions are felt. One of the sculptures twists like
a living being, searching for something new. Another moves nowhere, trapped in an endless repetition.
A third shows signs of decay: perforated, necrotic, as if no longer able to fulfil its function.
Perhaps it reflects a broader societal imbalance, or maybe it is just a gut feeling.
Created at EKWC with support from Cultuurfonds and PPO
