Works Information

▔

To give an idea of the motives and works, I would say that they examine the primary characteristics and modes that come into play at the ongoing forming and unfolding of existence. I see my practice as a way to elaborate personal conceptions and imaginings, as well as to grasp speculative theories on the principles that constitute natural reality.
This yields a combination of variform propositions like drawings and sculptures. All in search of tenable ways to explore the manners in which nature and the world around us persistently evolve. From invisible forces at the level of fundamentals to physical objects and occurrences of experience, everything is concerned as a manifold of lively processes; a never ending inversion of becoming, passage, and continuous change.

A lot of activities throughout these practices would not have been possible without the stimulating and gratefully used support of the Mondriaan Fund.

Neither without the invitations, resources and work done by the people behind all involved parties and institutions; special thanks to these collaborators as well.
