At Zelhem, 2022 What was left over from my experience of this place? A reconstruction by memory a few weeks after I've worked here. Isn't this where we met?, 2022 A family of streetlights is traveling around. Here they found a place to rest and present themselves in a crowded, former jail. This inside place feels gloomy. They try to lighten it up, but it doesn't seem to be working... At Bijlmer Bajes, 2022 What was left over from my experience of this place? A reconstruction by memory a few weeks after I've worked here. As long as it is in good intent, 2022 An installation that boosts the appearance of Lexi the Chestnut tree. Lexi is one of two chestnut trees that were planted around 200 years ago on a private property midst of nature reserve de Veluwe. In the reserve the chestnut is a foreigner that made it's arrival by human hands. Now it's a healthy tree that can keep themselves healthy and happy. But still it receives human help in the form of extra water, several wooden aids and cleaning after to present Lexi in their best way possible. As long as it is in good intent, 2022

Fitting Profiles II, 2022 Aluminium, 2022 The materials that are commonly found in a hammer are switched back and forth and, in doing so, are resulting in a strange combination Isn't this where we met?, 2022 A family of lanterns converging on a roundabout up north, bringing with them the question on how they came together. In this get-together the question they ask themselves can also be asked to you. Isn’t this where we met? Thanks Voorheen de Gemeente for giving me this opportunity
Douglas, 2022 A douglas copy of a tool that is mostly made with an steel head. The grain in the wood is not only visible in the colour of the wood, but is also physically enhanced in it's skin. Spruce, 2022 A spruce copy of a tool that is mostly made with an steel head. Fitting Profiles, 2022 In the last few years a couple of wooden skyscrapers were build around the world. Where as the conventional skyscrapers are mostly build with heaps of concrete and steel limbs or profiles, the new ones replaced those materials with potentially way eco-friendlier wood. Profiles are normally made of steel. The form allows the construction to be lighter while keeping most of it's strength. These are made of wood and are still somewhat metallike. Complementary H, 2022 A wooden H-profile.
Wood is such a different material than metal. It behaves different, It feels different. Half Krommetje, 2022 A mix of steel and wooden possibilities. Isn't this where we met?, 2021 Wooden copies of several streetlights at Kunststroming2021 By making copies with a material I know with the tips of my fingers I get to know certain infrastructure-objects in a more touchy way. The copy is helping me to place certain objects in its network of being.
Follow the Line // Crossing the Field 2021 As presented during Festival de Oversteek. Special thanks to Derde Wal. Power lines that cross entire countries by cutting through the landscape. Follow the Line, 2021 Presented during Prospects '21.
The pylon placed outside, but still connected to it's sibling inside. The pylon has a rainlike scent.
If it's raining the electric resistance of air drops so it is more likely that the electricity will jump from one wire to the other. This phenomenon is called a corona because of the shape the electricity makes when it escapes. Crossing the Field, 2021 Presented during Prospects '21.

Birdwatching Tower, 2020 Let's bring the art outside! Birdwatching Tower at Raus
Hosted by Mestlab31 At Popop, 2020 Hashara Al-Fund, 2020 In covid-times it wasn’t possible to travel much, so when it’s not possible to vist Dubai then we bring Dubai to you! It might be too small though... This high rise hotel is made for insects with
eco-friendly materials. Roughly translated the title means insect hotel in Arabic. For this project I had help from Stroomversneller Arnhem, Arnhem Zoemt and Volkshuisvesting
We should take a break soon, 2020 A picknicktable to bring along. Easy. Untitled 0620, 2020 A Lost Wave, 2020 Muisbroekstraat, 2020 A way to upgrade your life by catching the rodents squatting your home by giving them a house of their own. Win-win I would say! These could be Siblings, 2020 When an existing staircase is copied into a smaller one, but then the colour of the new one is put back on the existing one. They are the same (?)
At circa...dit, 2020 At Jelle, 2020 Mycelium, 2019 A video collage about the physical network between trees Breadfast Sculpting, 2019 As a sort of blank cube it was put in a open, public space. The cube was made out of bread and so birds and alike were able to carve into it as an artist in marble. So far nothing happened, but people wondering what it could be... City Life was a project I did with the help of Derde Wal in Nijmegen. The program Social Aspects focuses on art in public spaces. Rats Nest Motel and Field of Flowers were also part of the project.

Field of Flowers, 2019 As a part of the project City Life an empty grass field was planted with a variety of flowers that would attract insects. The seeds were thought of to attract smaller animals like birds and rodents. City Life was a project I did with the help of Derde Wal in Nijmegen.

2. Only use that colour
3. Paint one brick of one of the pillars

Safe of Consistent Change, 2019 For a while now I've been collecting nickels (stuivers, 5 eurocent coins) in the hope they will become scarce and will increase in value. The thing with money is they basically have two kinds of value systems. 1. The value that is written on it. That's the value a nation has given to it. 2. The product value. Just like milk the nickel can become scarce or plenty, which changes the product value of that kind of product. Missing Stairs, 2018 Isn't this where we met?, 2018 During the night many places have lanterns to provide light in those dark streets. It lights up to uncover. Although this lantern is placed inside, it still lightens up with those alike outside. At Sauna, 2018 At studio, 2018 The studio I worked in for the longest never had a sketch of it's own... It's about time that it is recognized as a nice place to work in. We Paint Tunnel, 2018 At night me and some friends painted a tunnel on a remote place for the work Blank Canvas. Blank Canvas, 2018 On a remote place, near an industrial area, there's a tunnel decorated with old graffitis. No recent graffitis were added to the pillars. Until now, when half of the pillars were painted with a layer that acts both as a graffiti itself and as a blank canvas for new images. No recent tags were covered. Untitled 0417, 2017 When an intervention, like Between Object and Intervention, removes living space from some other thing in a destructive way it is being a bitch. It has to work in an other way to make a constructive relation. Between Object and Intervention is brutally cut in the middle with an axe, giving space to the space behind it. Sea of Time, 2017 Looking for a sense of reality, but even more how to deal with. In a time of great confusion, what's left of the things around you? Are things there just to react on, or is there a you that can also make or choose what's it like out there? Sea of Time, 2017 Looking for a sense of reality, but even more how to deal with.

At Ringenberg II, 2017 At Ringenberg, 2017 Moorhen Boulevard, 2017 A boulevard placed in the castle moat at Ringenberg. In the moat there are several families of moorhens. They were living there; eating sleeping, swimming...
Now there is an extra activity of leisure; gloating and parading on their own boulevard. So far I've only seen a frog using it... I'm There, 2017
(left over piece) Till what extend do you trust yourself? Being Intimate, 2017 This public restroom in Radboud Nijmegen has three different stalls. On the door of every stall there is a display installed which counts the number of times that that stall's toilet is used. Which stall is your favourite? Scrooge McDuck, 2016 For a while now I've been collecting nickels (stuivers, 5 eurocent coins) in the hope they will become scarce and will increase in value.

At Maff, 2016 Miniature Golf, 2016 A Collapse, 2016
Collaboration with Nikita v. Dam How to see a wall as an independent thing? Nikita came up to me and said he wanted to do a work together; make a wall, put a painting on it and than let the wall drop. I thought it just had to happen. Sketch04, 2016 Birdwatching Tower, 2016 Built in a studio where you can frequently spot small birds that enter the space. In this space the tower fulfills a clear goal. The tower is movable. In July the tower was moved to an exhibition. What did happen with the tower? Did it change as a thing? Fluid Entities, 2016
(several filmstills) A reality (out of many) told by different entities. What one thing says can be said by another thing just as well. On the other hand the one thing tells me other stuff than some other thing. Black Bird Ceremony, 2016
(filmstill) One day there were 3 little black bird chicks on the floor in my studio. That spring at least two black birds decided to nest inside the building. As often happens in nature; not all of the offspring survives.
The 3 chicks died. I gave them names and improvised a ceremony for them. Karl the Great 2016-2016
Karl the Middle 2016-2016
Karl the Small 2016-2016 They are given back to the cycle of nature. Sketch03, 2016 3 Degrees, 2016 How to see a wall as an independent thing? The wall is slightly skewed. Red Wall, 2016 How to see a wall as an independent thing? A wall built on a staircase. The wall copied the texture and colour of the wall and was placed in a straight angle with the walking surface of the stairs. Between Object and Intervention, 2015 How to see a wall as an independent thing? The wall's appearance is different from the other walls. Poisenous, 2015 Crowded flower-stands for potatoes that work for electricity. The electricity is used by Garden #3 for lighting. The procedure used to gain electricity slowly poisons the potatoes in this flower-stand. Care, 2015 The potatoplant is guiding.
I am guiding. They deserved some sort of luxury good, so they got electricity, provided by Garden #4. Garden #2, 2015 Trees which I am not sure about how much I care about them. I want them to look beautiful and ready for spring I guess. The trees are painted with acrylic paint to give them a fresh, clean look. We Paint Trees, 2015 One night me and some friends secretly painted two trees with a brownish-fresh colour for the work Garden #2. The action itself was interesting too; the trees were located on a graffiti-free zone. It was allowed to do some graffiti on the walls there. Does that include the trees too? Do the graffiti-artists respond to this action? Garden, 2015 Garden, 2015 Light- / Soundsculpture, 2014
collaboration with Domas v. Wijk Installation responding to sound, or music in this case. Audio waves are transferred into video waves which will be visual in an installation of lighting tubes.
