Artist Statement:
My work developed from textile
sack like forms to ‘wrapping
sculptures’ ( objects and
installations created by
wrapping stripes of textile
around frames made out of
branches, steel, etc.) till
the temporary ‘flames’. This
form means to a symbol for the
spiritual aspect in every
human being. Goal of all my
work is to make the unseen
visual aspects of the total
environment visible. In my
latest installation
‘Treeflames 2 – the border I
visualize the ‘flame’ hidden
in oak trees by enwrapping
partly the crown.
When you vist my artwork you
will find it in this order:
Sculpture (indoor, outdoor),
Drawings, Icons, Paintings,
Drawings for future site
specific projects, executed
site specific projects.
Another part of my work is to
act as curator for
international art-in-nature
projects. (Global Art
Fund).For example in 2005:
‘Art and nature walk The
Legend’
(www.natuurkunstdrenthe.nl)
and ‘Hidden Lanes’
(www.cbkzeeland.nl) click
‘verborgen lanen’. In 2006
‘Art and nature walk Still
Water’. In 2007 ‘Art and
nature walk Green Revolution’.
