A few words from the artist
My work evolves around my
personal search for the
definition of space. From my
perspective, space is a
collection of coherent moments
of which our emotions form the
boundaries and our feelings
dictate the outcome of our
actions. Therefor I preserve
certain moments in my
sculptures, installations and
photographs, sometimes more
permanently than others, using
different materials to suit
the concept at hand. This
complex dialogue between an
intense thought and feeling,
form and material, doesn't
happen overnight. It takes a
certain incubation time to
form the ideas into a solid
structure which, in my case,
looks plain and simple. In my
opinion it is the intensity of
a clear form that has the most
inpact on space. Besides the
artwork itself, the
surroundings can also be
adjusted, converted to create
the maximum impact. I try,
when ofcourse this is
possible, to arrange the total
presentation and not soley
focus on the finished work.
My skills as a photographer I
gained through practice. The
sculptingdiscipline on the
otherhand, I learned most of
