Alchemy

I love to immerse myself in a creative dance with material, light, water and magic; guided by intuition and embracing unpredictability something unique arises.

With my handmade prints using alternative photographic processes, I seek to translate and implement my vision of a life-inducing future; hence I create in vegan and plastic-free way – and as sustainable as possible.

Exploring and honing my skills with color in Alternative Processes in non-toxic ways. Going beyond cyanotype toning, adding pigments, playing and combining technics to match my vision or induce a new one.

Furthermore, this is a serial approach reflecting my process: Emergent phenomena arising from complex systems.
I call them: APPEARANCES, unique manifestations.

 

Beyond duality

Cyanotype on rice paper, toned with the rest of my morning coffee, silvered on the back and waxed with home-made wax.

Thinking about duality – specifically about the concept of wave-particle duality –  I superimposed both states metaphorically ( a cloud for the wave/water and a palm for matter/particle) and in simultaneously showing both states I aim to go beyond duality. The resulting synthesis is more the sum of its parts, a new creation and identity evolves – like a child.

Ghosts of future beings

Heartbroken by the devastating news of a new mass bleaching event, I created this toned Potassium Print.

I reflect on the fading white beauty of corals during their elegy towards death and
dissolution. I meditate about future generations and their haunting look back on us, inspired by Joanna Macy’s work and her council of all beings.
