Radium Girls

The Radium Girls were factory workers in the 1920s who contracted radium poisoning from painting watch dials with self-luminous, radioactive paint.

Men of Quality

During my stay at the Aria Residency in Tehran, Iran I made a banner with the quote 'Men of quality do not fear equality'. I took it to the streets of Tehran and made a photo series of those who support the statement. 20 photos were made.

Bum Revisited

Back in the old days in 2009, when I was still in art school I made one of my funniest works ever. I placed a tiny paper umbrella in between a boyfriends buttocks. Unfortunately, I lost the original digital photo and was left with only a very low-res copy.

Soft Series: Brass Knuckles

As part of the Soft Series I made hand-sewn satin brass knuckles. On the inside there's a lead rope filling, so the knuckles keep their shape. The photos above and below are available as prints on aluminum.

Soft Series: P7

As part of the Soft Series I made a hand-sewn replica of the Heckler&Koch P7 gun. The gun is made out of satin and filled with sesame seeds and dried lavender, just to add some scent. The photos above and below are available as prints on aluminum.

Soft Series: The AK

This piece is a follow-up of the Walther Plush5 gun I made for Festival De Basis in 2014 in which I took the attributes of the crochet guns to the extreme. More fleshy pink, more softness, more uselessness…

Merging Spaces

Merging Spaces can be seen as a social experiment. Tweets (Twitter messages) publicly spread online were localised to establish their geographical origin. Through this project they were brought back to their original location but this time offline, using ordinary paper stickers.

Rogier

For this project I followed someone who shared so much about himself online, that it was possible to base a novel on it. Through a random search query on Twitter I found the 17-year-old Rogier Hogervorst and followed him for three months on Twitter and Instagram, from the 1st of April until the 30th of June.
