About

I’m a Dutch artist working with surplus and discarded materials like textiles, paper, wood and fragments that have lost their original function. Some come from leftover stock or sample books. Others are found in boxes, bins or secondhand stores. They’re not always worn out but just no longer needed.

I collect what feels right. I’m drawn to shape, tactility, and the rhythm of repetition, but also to materials that carry traces of history, use or intention. I arrange, interrupt and layer. Sometimes carefully and sometimes by instinct. I’m not restoring what these materials were, but giving them a new identity.

My work is a quiet response to excess. We produce more than we need. Even what’s given away becomes part of the overflow. 

I explore memory, time and the patterns we leave behind. I’m interested in the tension between order and disruption, between what we keep and what we lose... and I also believe in renewal. Innovation isn’t just technical, it has to start with how we look, what we choose to value and what we decide not to throw away.

I use modern digital tools like scanning, printing and AI, not to work faster, but to slow things down. I turn fast digital images into something tactile, layered and quiet.

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?
