Who shall I be, what shall I make me?

Aipas

A series of A3 pencil drawings. In these drawings I am identifying with a doll I found at a flea market: a typical representation of a white, Western girl. She is a bit battered, awkward looking wearing a conservative stiff dotted dress. She is all I never wanted to be… I give her masks from all over the world and all cultures so she can pick and choose who she wants to be. She keeps the dress though: not able to loose or change her dna, cultural upbringing and past experiences.

Ceramic transfers, 2015-16

Ceramic prints – 2014 & 2015.

In 2014 I started with experimenting with printing (silkscreen) my own ceramic transfers. This lead to the series of ‘Garden lovers’ and ‘Wake up!’.

I also teach this technique in workshops for the Grafische Werkplaats.

The prints are used on divers old and new tableware.

Freaks of nature, 200-2001

Freaks of nature / Growths – 2000-2001.

Pencil drawings on paper.

A series of drawings made after a trip through Australia in 2000. The light and climate in Australia is hard and that creates many contrasts. In these drawings I looked at the Australian landscape on a micro-level to explore the following dualistic values of it:
soft and hard
light and dark
sharp and vague.

I took small natural objects as a starting point: photographed or taken as a souvenir.

The Villa

I dream of swimming – 2006.

In 2006 I participated in publishing ‘De Villa’. 5 artists formed ‘De Zuid-Hollandse stripclub’ and each produced a story in drawings all centered around a certain Villa. My contribution was an illustrated poem in English originally drawn in pencil. The book was printed (stencilled) by the Nijmeegse Universele/Knust.(www.extrapool.nl)

We held a book presentation at Quartair, Den Haag.
