Exuberant life, procreation and decay are my themes. The most obvious situation where these themes are visible is, when nature and culture struggle for space, where trees grow in whimsical ways to survive.
I use textile and paint. Working with textile is a time consuming way of making art, but there is a reward: fabrics give intense colours and tactility. Touching fabrics is delightful. I like to examine their transparency, their softness or roughness, their flexibility or stiffness. In combination with paint a diverse palette of colour shades and textures arises. According to Leeuwarder Courant (14th of June 2013) this makes my work quirky and independent-minded.
