Until Sunday my work is part of @bigartnl at the Hembrugterrein in Zaandam.
For this show I created a site-specific installation named 'Between The Sun And The Moon'. I am immersing myself in the constantly changing landscapes and the influence that humans have on them. I am fascinated by natural forces like wind, water and sunlight, and often I address grand topics like the exploitation of natural resources which alter the landscape. Yet, there are different aspects to the same topic which I like to explore in different series. This is reflected in the use of raw, earthy materials such as sand and natural stone. Mirrors form a returning metaphorical element in my sculptures and installations which invite spectators to reflect on themselves while simultaneously exploring different perspectives. The results are unique aesthetic translations which are able to present new confrontational information within a certain comfort.
BigArt is a pop-up platform for XL art installations and huge design objects, brought to you by a blend of established artists and designers as well as upcoming talents. Every year BigArt occupies an iconic building in or around Amsterdam where dozens of artists and designers fill the place with a unique mix of monumental paintings, oversized drawings, large sculptures, big photos and impressive installations.
