Let’s Pollute
The unstoppable weekly pile of advertorial folders delivered on my doormat are cut into a A6 booklet in a way to make some sense of them.

Greetings from Utrecht
07 Aug 2018
I’ve made this one-off-a-kind album with hyper-idealistic-tourists-postcards. I bought 16 postcards for €5,00. Then stitched them together back on back and bound all into a four hole Japanese style stab-binding. Finally I painted the blue skies on the postcards white. Only during heatwaves the sky is red.

Avatar
18 Jun 2018
There are many words and many interpretations for describing the human appearance. Descriptions for alter egos, incarnations, the human form, the images in the flesh, a personification, an impersonation or computerized avatar. All portray a surface but not the soul.I've coloured the pages with black-blue fountain pen ink. The page numbers are stamped…

Resumé

Some pages from the “Resumé” book. Hand-bound over pink-orange dyed cloth ribbons. The signatures are sewn with orange thread and the cactus photo’s are from my greenhouse archive. These are laser-printed over postcards of Albrecht Dürer’s alphabet, and stitched back to back together with a Singer from 1910. The poem is rubber stamped. Dorothy Parker was a master of the alphabet…

Crushed Cans

This project displays discarded and decaying beverage cans that I’ve collected from the streets. My collecting served three purposes. One, to tidy up the polluted streets from this litter.
