Welcome to my website.
I am an artist, arts worker and long term visitor on stolen Arrernte land. Born in the Netherlands, I have worked and collaborated in different organisational structures, creative collaborations and collectives in Europe, the Northern Territory, and other parts of the continent known as ‘Australia’.
My creative research takes place in a range of mediums, in the realms of sonic and visual art. The complex space of connection, desire and loneliness spark my interest, in a world high on digital over-connection, and disconnection. I investigate this lifelong fascinations with the institutions of relationships, it’s limitations and boundaries, comforts and discomforts, exposing all the average and extraordinary things that I feel. The space of connection within digital, phsyical, intimate and sometimes mystical are sources of inspiration - I dream of mermaids and exploding intergelactic worlds in hot pink where gender is not a thing and prisons neither.
Currently I work as caretaker at the remote and one of the longest standing artist run intiatives, Watch This Space in Mparntwe/Alice Springs. As an artsworker I am interested in re-thinking and dismantling how we organise ourselves and make decisions. I am interested in exploring genuine connections as an anitdote to the limitations imposed by institutions.
