All collages are handmade, simply with scissors, glue, old magazines and brochures. A cut-up fairytale world, multilayered, cheerful with a sharp edge. Inspired by colourful sixties figures, Brussels surrealism and child memories. Mixed with ecological, society critical or feminist hints. Words placed associatively that collide or attract.
Like a ‘Green Fairy’ fluttering on absinthe, but always with lots of love.
NEW expo All aboard!
‘All aboard!’ refers to the great desire of many people to be able to travel again after all the travel restrictions there have been in recent months because of the corona pandemic. The title also refers to the location of the expo, Gare Maritime, the former monumental railway freight station on the Tour & Taxis site in Brussels that has recently been renovated into a contemporary covered city district. Covering an area of 4 hectares, the Gare Maritime was, around 1900, the largest railway freight station in Europe with, among other things, a direct train connection to the port of Antwerp from where boats departed for distant destinations.

Collages can separate things that belong together, unite the disparate; it can maximize artistic freedom but can also mean limitations; it can be a political pamphlet, pure fantasy or more realistic than reality.Silke Krohn (The Age of Collage)
