Women Inc. Festival

Women Inc. organised a festival in the Beurs van Berlage on December 1st and 2nd, 2007. In the safe deposit room of the trading centre I created an in situ installation. Some of the objects were exhibited elsewhere such as ‘Savior Shaves Sheep’ (Galerie Matiz, 2008) and ‘Perpetual Beauty (Don Boscokerk, 2007).

Graduation show Royal Academy of Art, The Hague

In 2001 I graduated from Fine Arts department of the Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunst with an installation in the entrance hall. The piece ‘Décubitus’ was included in a group exhibition at the Haagse Kunstkring in 2001 and published by Missio as a card. In 2007 it was published in the catalogue of the exhibition ‘The Last Supper’ in the Don Bosco kerk (Alkmaar).
