(FRAG)⁰⁵: Life on a (copper) plate

LOAP / Life On A Plane. Without loss of material, tranquil short stories emerge from a paper plate or copper plane. From a conversation at the table or the dance of life to the nocturnal hiker with dog. Fragile transformations of reality ultimately taking on a life of their own.

(Doc)⁰⁴: Japanese memories

Slowly developing memories in random order of two road trips through Japan (2000-2001). Gazing into a different, wondrous society with constant amazement for the intense visual literacy, deep traditions and blade-runner like environments showing a possible future.

(AR)⁰⁷: HICKX/ loft interior

Documentation of the transformation of a former garage in Brussels into a loft. Interior and furniture design by Herman Venderickx.

(Doc)⁰⁶: Red and Blue series

Red and blue drawings which started at a friends place in Ostend. Drawn on panoramic white paper bags found at the fruit and vegetable section of the local grocery store. Happenstance meditations to be continued at leisure.

(FRAG)⁰¹: Tales of the (un)expected

Tales of the unexpected is a series which emerged from the intuition something derailed spatially in Belgium. The images are rather ordinary, mostly front and back. I didn’t have to travel far and worked from my immediate neighborhood: two childhood spaces in Genk and morning and evening strolls in my current hometown Hasselt._____(pdf)

(Doc)⁰⁵: Making Spaces

Drawings of ateliers, kitchens, sheds, etcetera, in short: places where creative minds get lost in parallel realities to create something new. To study my fascination for spaces where ideas enter reality. To be continued.

(FRAG)¹⁰: Inner gardens

Inner Gardens is a tale of care. During a nightwalk along the railway tracks I stumbled upon a well hidden ‘wild gardening project’. Someone took a piece of land and put greenhouses on them, strangely interconnected and surrounding a young fig tree. Inner Gardens one could say, in a double meaning: the mind as a garden and within a greenhouse. Small protected places where a human was creating an order of its own. These images are offset against one picture in colour, a vivid memory of my grandmother's garden.

(Doc)⁰⁷: drawn wishes

Drawn wishes consist of a series of 26 hand drawn postcards. The text is in my mother tongue Dutch, and is often playing with double or lateral meaning in between illustration and text, causing a smile for the sender as well as the receiver of the card.

(Process)⁰¹: 216cc Architecture

216cc architecture is the result of an exercise in analyzing architecture where 2nd bachelor architecture students create a traveling group exhibition. Basis of the exercise is the documentation available in the university library. Per project three small models (with a maximum volume of 216 cubic centimeters) are made and collected in one protecting poplar wood showcase/box. The exhibition is presented and discussed outside the university to bring out our knowledge and bring in external reflection.
