Statement
making what matters to me 'pictorial.' Reflections on everyday life, specially sensations and observations derived from social cultural changes, are the themes I try to translate in fine art. Through a visual thinking proces I try to make matter ( what matters to me) the pivot of the work. I try to visualize these awarenesses in a problem solving proces. By searching for metaphors, abstraction, selection, analysis, exploration, comparison I find a translation in an image. An other way of starting a visual process is possible by experimenting with soft material. Bundling, pleading, rolling up, folding, all kinds of treaties who are specific for soft material ( vormgevende handelingen/shaping actions)
