My work begins with a curiosity about how we come to live lives that no longer correspond to what we need, want or value. I investigate how social expectations become internalised and shape our relationship to ourselves, and how artistic experiences might help us recover trust in our own perception.
I work with tactile installations, sculpture, performance and participatory methods. My projects emerge through what I call material mindmapping: an embodied process in which materials, movement and making become a way of thinking. Rather than illustrating ideas, the work develops through experimentation until its artistic question and form reveal themselves.
By creating sensory situations that invite touch and physical engagement, I hope to make other ways of relating to ourselves—and to one another—easier to imagine.

Een onderzoeksproject over het belang van onze zintuigen, gerelateerd aan het welzijn van mensen met cognitieve beperkingen. Het project onderzoekt hoe de zintuigen kunnen worden gefaciliteerd, gestimuleerd, getraind en/of gereguleerd door maak processen, waarbij het proces net zo belangrijk is als het ontwerpen van de uitkomst. Een samenwerking tussen social designer Lotte van Laatum, designonderzoeker Jenny Konrad en zorgorganisatie Cordaan, locatie Gaasperdam.
