I started these artworks in 2021 as a kind of altar to woman. Women's value is still measured by how you look. When is something a flirt, when sexist. There's a thin line. And there's duality. A mermaid is a-sexual and yet seen as one of the most seductive mythical female figures on earth. On my mermaids I embroidered words like 'perfect', 'sweet', 'no'. The spangles give the fabric scales: the look of a chain mail but also screams 'nightclub'. All double messages. They are a little defect.

Collaborative project with Muz Delarte (woodworker). Elduende means 'gnome wind' or 'wind of inspiration'. I'm always been fed by the unexplainable.

With self-invented gods and mythical figures I take advantage of the strong visual elements that heat our collective memory for thousands of years.

Videoproject Al enkele maanden stuur ik post naar mijn ouderlijke huis: ‘Hoi huis! Hoe gaat het met je? Met mij gaat alles goed.’ Het huis staat leeg en dat vind ik een verdrietig idee. Het is altijd vol leven en gezelligheid geweest. Alles wat ik doe voor dit project: het maken van de post, naar de brievenbus brengen, leg ik vast op film. Inclusief de 'Post retour' in onze brievenbus, wat soms gebeurd …
