My personal history has a strong influence on her photo, video and intervention work. In her attempt to understand home, that means the individual desire to feel at home, she plays with frame work and perspective.
Transformations - and (unexpected) encounters with - others, are a source of inspiration. I am interested in new thoughts and ideas that arise when people enter into a dialogue.
Latest works are New Neighbours (2007-2010), made in community art connection for the Historical Museum of Rotterdam. Completed in the same year the presentation Doortekening in Photo Museum Amsterdam (FOAM).

I am interested in how people experience their every day world. By using the concepts of time and space, I want to explore this environment. This is not a scientific approach; I am using my own personal experiences. I create art that exists between the 2 and 3 dimensional: a drawing or pattern in free space. I use knitting and textile techniques to create my work. To me the apparent contrast of making a ‘flat’ drawing in a 3D space equals the concept of time and space. The tangible shapes are spatial installations made for their specific place and when the exposition has ended it disappears. You can only experience it on that moment in time.
