"The choreographies that I have developed untill now are made with minimal means; this given has somewhat influenced my approach to dancing, to making work, and has influenced the aesthetics."
GRAPHIC POEMS
Being creative with forms, colours and words gives movement and poetry, it opens up depth of meaning and questions meaning at the same time, it can serve critical thinking, it can create context and it can suggest an abstraction. Being creative with forms, colours and words is also fun and playful and serves this purpose too.

The following names covers the authors cited, but does not cover all the texts embedded in the images: Elias Canetti, Jacques Derrida, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Andreas Gryphius, Chaim Potok, Rainer Maria Rilke, Friedrich Rückert, Melitta Schmideberg, Gertrude Stein, Virginia Woolf.
STEIN
Inspired by impressionism, abstract art, and typography these digital paintings depict the synergy between a physical art form, literacy and the digital age. While radically using unselected, entire pages of Getrude Stein’s The Making of Americans, Being a History of a Family’s Progress, the images might first appear as paintings, but when taking a better look, are digital images embedded with Stein’s authentic writing stirred up as though merged with the paint of a painting.

PAINTINGS
WATER LILIES
in the making
WATER LILIES is a series of paintings featuring an abstraction of a water lily motif. The design of the motif is created digitally, after which it forms the outline of the paintings. The creation of each painting is furthermore unique and primarily a play with colours and the associations evoked by colours in order to develop an aesthetic, meaningful composition. At the same time, as each painting unfolds they remain open to different interpretations and the interpretation of meaning itself can be questioned. In this sense, one could say that the centre remains empty or ambivalent in terms of meaning. The series is currently in the making. The photos show studies.
