Artist Statement
How are memories built in one’s mind? Which images of my daily life will stick? The series ‘It wasn’t a dream’ is a cinematic family study made in my own family, combined with shots of families in the township of Kliptown, South Africa. I didn’t only explore how things are now, but also how they could have been, a journey of longing and nostalgia. In this way I find beauty in everyday life. I’m touched by the way people are trying to make the best of their situation, without disregarding their dreams. The families in South Africa were strangers to me, though I managed to build up ties with them, even if they didn’t always speak a common language. What we always did have in common was motherhood, the basis on which the confidence was built. By focussing on intimate scenes of my own family life I invite you in. Nothing is set up, a lot of details the environment offers are used, but ‘It wasn’t a dream’ is not a documentary. Likewise, the pictures from Kliptown are fragments of daily life there and only partly reveal its reality. This way I create a trailer to reflect a certain atmosphere, the viewer is left the liberty to imagine the fascinating story behind it.

Artist Statement
<p class="font_7"><span><strong>Domestic Landscapes</strong> are oneiric installations made with light, kitchen utensils and shadows.</span></p>
<p class="font_8"><br /><span>The complexities of how we inhabit and engage with our surroundings and the entities we share them with are at the core of my work. Informed by the photographic process, larger works and installations tend to incorporate light and projection as well as sound or video while smaller scale works often consist of everyday objects and multiples. Simulating nature with man-made items and transforming life’s daily chaos into delicacy, my work edges between childlike playfulness and a longing for the seemingly out of reach. Grounded in the home and activated by life with young children, necessary and repetitive daily tasks are absorbed into my work and reappear to expose beauty through reflections on domestic life.<br /><br /></span></p>

<p class="font_7"><span>The complexities of how we inhabit and engage with the earth and the entities we share it with are at the core of my work – systems within systems.</span></p>
<p class="font_7"> </p>
<p class="font_7"><span>Over the past two years, frogs and toads have been a vessel for my perpetual interest in the simulation of nature. This exploration has manifested through drawing, installation, video and sound. My materials and habits tend toward everyday objects, multiples, and layers. Homage to Heqet is an extension of this work; An offering to frog-headed Heqet: Goddess of fertility, midwives, and newborns.</span></p>

<p class="font_7"><span> </span></p>
<p class="font_7"><span>Ritual is intention & process. I’m focused on honoring repetitive, menial daily tasks in mothering an infant, while embedding and reflecting on elements of our wetland counterparts.</span></p>
