Artist and Artsworker
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. I am interested in creating physical translations of connection, while examining what shapes them.
Currently I work as Director 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 seek to explore genuine connections as an anitdote to the limitations imposed by institutions and I passionately believe in art as a vehicle of change, connection and beauty.
