‘CHAOS + order - ning’ at the Vishal in Haarlem.




Members exhibition Vishal, with the theme CHAOS + order - ning (October 18 to November 24). My contribution regarding Chaos & Order; 'Please tell me who I am' & 'WSC#2'.




Ceramic cuddly toy project.


Memories of our youth. What's more emotional than our own cuddly toy. It gave us 'joy', 'love', 'consolation' and 'happiness'. The world was too small when it was lost or forgotten somewhere. I started a ceramic cuddly toy project. The older the better! For 400 euro I'll copy your personal toy in ceramics.



Please tell me who I am.

Sculpture made for the exhibition 'CHAOS + o r d e - n i n g' at the Vishal in Haarlem. Show will run from October 19 until November 24.

I always see you & I always hear you.

From the series Mothers, ‘Mutti, ‘Madre’, ‘Mère’ and ‘Eji’.

Mothers, my symbol for 'nourishment, trust and safety'. Something that is no longer self-evident in many places in the world these days. Wars and starvation are spreading across our world. Mothers are powerless against these future-destroying forces, only their unconditional motherly love is what they have to offer.
All animals are named purely based on personal association about their country of origin or simply on feeling.

Preview installation ‘The journey’

This project is about the times we live in now and our hedonistic way of life. We have serious problems with: CO2 excess, global warming, rising oceans, melting polar caps, pandemics, fake news, conspiracy theories and dictators turning the world upside down.
We all see it happen but try like an ostrich to 'bury our head in the sand'. We refuse to look at our role as co-producer and consumer. All of these factors lead us to “The journey to the rim of the volcano.”
