Ben je ongesteld, of zo?

This work is part of a series where I am going to integrate common replies in Dutch on sexist or other inappropriate behaviour into kitsch tapestries, with an embroidery-style rose in the middle. I started working on these tapestries during the large #metoo scandal on The Voice of Holland.

Het ergste moet nog komen

The artwork "Het ergste moet nog komen" by Schopenhauer is a striking commentary on the rise of right-wing extremism and fascism in the Netherlands. Made from gold-plated handwoven beads and featuring Fraktur script, it reflects on history’s dark chapters. The quote is a chilling reminder of potential consequences in today’s political climate.

Hij bedoelde het vast niet zo

The artwork "Hij bedoelde het vast niet zo" addresses dismissive responses to inappropriate behavior, often heard when confronting sexism. Part of a series inspired by the #MeToo scandal, it incorporates these all-too-common phrases into kitsch tapestries, blending them with traditional embroidery-style roses.

¥€$ (Yen Euro Dollar)

Back in art school in 2011 I discovered that you could make words with the currency symbols on your computer keyboard. And then I found out Yen, Euro and Dollar together made the word 'YES'. Of course a ton of others already found out about this, but I still decided to make a small work on the subject.

DPRK

In August 2014 I travelled to North Korea to see what the North Korean ideal looked like, the ideal that's always presented to tourists and other visitors. I was wondering if some of the things you hear about North Korea in Western media and society would shimmer through the veil of perfection every now and then.
