BIO
I am a visual artist, lecturer and researcher. I teach in the Art & Research programme (since 2021) and Photography, Film & the Digital (since 2023) at St. Joost School of Art & Design, and conduct research at the Centre of Applied Research for Art, Design and Technology (CARADT). I am also a member of the art collective YAFF and the art alliance The Long Tail of Art.
My artistic practice centres on the relationship between art, shared experience and ethical reflection. Through installations, essays, workshops and collaborative projects, I develop situations in which artistic practice creates space for collective inquiry into current dilemmas in art, education and society, and the assumptions and reflexes that shape them. I hold a background in Fine Arts (cum laude, St. Joost School of Art & Design) and Applied Ethics (MA, Utrecht University).

This
artwork is inspired by the transformation and spatial development of a natural
area near Vessem. In this process, the river has been restored to a meandering
course after being straightened since the 1970s due to intensive agriculture,
which disrupted the natural landscape. The Fundament represents human
impact on the landscape. The steel map weaves together the old and new river
courses. This two-part artwork comprises an engraving, created during the
workshop A Thinking Landscape with various stakeholders and an object
made of stainless and corten steel that reflects both the transformation and
the landscape’s memory.
