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 zodiac collages
Man has always been fascinated by recurring (natural) phenomena, of circular passages of celestial bodies in space. People are born under a certain constellation and are hereby automatically assigned characteristics by their sign of the Zodiac, which are linked to this specific time and place in the cycle of the universe. It remains fascinating to see how the ancient knowledge of astronomers and astrologers continues to have a great influence on the daily lives of many people.

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)
