omgeving - soft sculptures - tekenen

As an artist I work with pastel drawings and soft sculptures as my main tools to understand and portray how affects, feelings, and relationships move through a body. I research and use spiritual and somatic practices — the connection of mind, body, and soma, its energy field. With the practice of connecting somatically inner awareness, the physical body and artistic works, our common ability of deep listening and shared signaling is manifested. By examining the effect of color through drawing, I explore different practices of self-examination that lead to an embodied consciousness.
