in mijn werk als kunstenaar schrijf ik, maak ik tekeningen en organiseer ik verschillende momenten die mensen samenbrengen. hierbij kijk ik naar de invloed van (en relaties tussen) lichamen, en vormen van belichaming. het oplopen van hersenletsel in 2019, en hoe dit mijn eigen somatische ervaring veranderde, maakt hier deel van uit.
ik werk vanuit de nieuwsgierigheid naar hoe een gedeelde handeling, tekst of tekening een correlatie kan vormen met, en door kan werken in het lichaam – en de verschillende gevoelslagen, ervaringen, symptomen en geschiedenissen die door lichamen heen bewegen.

Sunday Morning With Logan February
poetry event at Shimmer. through poetry, dialogue and a collective reading experiment Logan February and i explored whether translation can be seen as an act, or labour, of solidarity, as a form of closeness, or getting-closer – through distant, differing bodies.
grief is a daily practice
solo exhibition exploring the ways a space can hold grief – as both a shared experience as well as one contained within the limits of a body. in correspondence with Suzanne Weenink, i have created a series of grief rituals. one of these, a silent grief dinner, was held among my series of drawings, texts and photographs.
