Moment
2024

A moment in time, a fraction of a continuous series. Powered by the wind, Moment creates a floating and moving play between chaos and order, balance and imbalance. Flowing from one moment into the next.

Very happy to share that MOMENT found a permanent place in a public environment in Amsterdam-West. The former Slotervaart Ziekenhuis has been developed to a contemporary center for health care called Slotervaart Gezondheidscentrum. This 70s Brutalistic building has been restored and upgraded future proof. The beautiful new garden (by DELVA) is a warm welcome for a sculpture to sail in the wind in between the greens. Enjoy the silence in this video.

Visit location: Louwesweg 6, 1066 EC Amsterdam

Ortus
2023






This sculpture arose from the inspiration I get from looking at trees, (house) plants and their leaves. Both the details and the overall experience that flora can give me play a role in this work. The way a tree shaft rises firmly and well-founded from the earth, how leaves emerge and roll out, as well as the simple natural perfection of a tree, have been the breeding ground for the creation of this work. The titel Ortus literally means emergence, in this case the emergence of a freely interpretable floral form.

Alf
2022






Alf is a  a dynamic sculpture that's constantly changing shape due to outside temperatures. For a long time this principle has been on my mind. I wanted to create a sculpture which reacts on it’s natural enviroment, in this case temperature. It has resulted in a sculpture in constant movement, changing it’s shape trough the time of the year. It’s movement is very subtile and can be percieved a little trough the course of a day while major changes in shape are a matter of seasonality.

The work is situated at TAK Art Space and can be visited by appointment. More info: www.takartspace.com
