Ciao, Goeie, Hello everyone! 🐦‍🔥

Some information about me and my work! I grew up in a nature reserve in Frisia, where my early interest in observing and documenting the world around me began.

I studied art at the Royal Art Academy in The Hague and Philosophy at the University of Groningen.

My art is displayed in several museum collections, and I have participated in various exhibitions and artist residencies across Europe.

After working full-time in printmaking for over 20 years, I began incorporating photography into my practice six years ago.

My work exists between the realms of photography and printmaking, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques.

In my ongoing project Orlando, I reimagine Virginia Woolf’s Orlando, using conversation and photography to explore the nuances of human identity beyond stereotypes and traditional representations.

I see photography as a powerful research tool, merging its evidential nature with emotional and human perspectives.

Collaboration is central to my practice, and for the project Fûgels, I work with artists, writers, activists, and scientists, exploring ways to combine activism, environmentalism, art, and science into an artistic project.
