About
I am a Dutch artist working with discarded materials to create new works of art. Working with textiles, paper, wood and found materials, I am drawn to fragments that already carry a history. Materials remember: a fabric softens over time, a surface holds a trace, an object shifts meaning once it's no longer useful.
Much of what I use comes from collected remnants — old fabric books, forgotten samples, boxes of saved things. Some are carefully reorganized, others are placed by instinct. Space is measured and divided into fractions, leaving room for fragments to break through — small distortions, cracks, imperfections that make the work more real.
My practice moves between digital and physical worlds. Fast images are slowed down, translated into tactile forms that ask for time and close attention. Worn surfaces, broken grids, and soft fractures create a quiet tension between order and erosion.
Each piece is built slowly, layer by layer, like a memory — not exact, but felt.
What do we keep, what do we forget, and how do materials hold the spaces in between?
