Leaves of Glass, 2013-2020
In this series, you will find collages made from images I found in various newspapers and news magazines. Through these collages, I made an attempt to connect with the daily images we are confronted with in the media, trying to make them feel more relatable, as they often seem distant and detached from the reality of lived experience.
​
By adding more abstract forms of paint, color, and texture, I aim to make the images feel more tactile and connected. However, instead of achieving this, I find that they become even more isolated and existential, as if they inhabit their own spaces when the viewer is no longer watching.

Gerrit Rietveld Graduation painting series, 2013
These series of acrylic paintings were created simultaneously with the some of the collages above, incorporating conceptual theme's as well as visual elements from the collages into the paintings and vice versa.
