Textile stuff – ongoing.
I like working with fabric / textiles. Here you can see some of the stuff I made. Some things are part of an installation, some things I just made – just for the fun of it.

My inner Kali
In 2016 I participated in the project with exhibition ‘Haagse portretten’ of the Grafische Werkplaats. I made my self-portrait showing my inner Kali. It is a lino-print on a moving blanket to which I added felt, embroidery and needle felting.
A stroll in the park
At the exhibition ‘Graphics & Beyond’ in de Pieter, Leiden (organised by the Grafische Werkplaats) I transformed a room into a small circus tent, complete with sawdust to present the romance between Miss Sophia Schultz and Major Mite.
The 3 presented works are out of the Freaks Icons series.
Fabric, string curtain, lights, sawdust and 3 silkscreen prints on fabric

Energies – In the woods
A performance with 3 costume statues. Deep in the woods 3 very different energies are manifesting themselves. They seem to be closed off from each other; each in their own little world. But is this right? Don’t they belong together and form a whole? Based on the Chakra energies. videorealisation: André Bijma assistance & light: William Pennings performers: Ingetje Wielenga, Yanaika Holle, Ilse Versluijs music: Davide Bellotta. Presented at Ververs gallery, Amsterdam in 2011. Exhibition of drawings of the Freaks series, the silkscreen print (the back piece) ‘In the woods’ and 3 statue costumes. The performance took place during the opening. The videorealisation was done separately.
