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.

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.
