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.
Let's dance 2020 away
Lockdowns, curfews, closures of pubs, concert and music halls, cancellations of festivals and events physically isolates people from each other, but also suppresses some of the emotions that often only come out when there is dancing. We’ve gotta fight for our right to party!

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)
