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.
Installations & artworks
Salt of the Earth
3D-animtion, soundscape, salt
(2017)
The Salt of the Earth takes its title from an old English saying and unfolds in three layers. Salt, once used as currency, symbolises the labourers who carry society; a single grain stands for the human being.
The second layer is an animation in which the earth becomes a star, evoking existential wonder and reminding us of our smallness within the vast whole.
The third is a soundscape that resonates with the present, linking salt and animation to today’s condition and asking: who are the farmers, citizens and outsiders of our rapidly changing world?
I created this work for Arnhem’s Open Monument Day, “Boeren, Burgers en Buitenlui”.
