Amidst Series (2023)
This first series of performative drawings (above and below) stem from an urge to enter into a physical relation with large scale expressive drawings. The performative element adds a layer of embodied expression to the process of creating the work. Building on the themes that surfaced while working on Our Roots Are Dark, this series of drawings present an intuitive exploration of what it means to stand in relation to internal and external turmoil.

Choreographies of Care & Resistance - Act 1 (2023)
The works above are the ‘First Act’ of a new line of artistic inquiry and expression under the working title ‘Choreographies of Care and Resistance’. The recent addition of locally sourced river clay infuses the process of making the drawings with an intimate connection to hidden spots of nature within the densly urban environment of my Rotterdam studio.

Amidst Installation (2023)
For the exhibition Here Be Dragons in Amsterdam a life size installation was created using this photograph. Hung in a stand-alone photo-backdrop frame, it had a prominent place the raw and open exhibition space of Werkpaard, drawing visitors in and inviting interaction in response to the life-size presence of this figure in whirlwind.
“An invigorating collage of photography, drawing, and dance, where the forces of nature and humanity spiral in an endless entanglement.”
- Flor Avelino
Warm Mountain (2023)
60 x 90cm Giclée print on Dibond
In this series of pictures body and hair enter into sculptural dialogues with collapsed, large-scale charcoal, clay and white pastel drawings. Hair becomes continues with expressive strokes of charcoal and the clay still wet, while the body withdraws and emerges from this unlikely warm mountain and all it evokes.
