“What am I doing here” is a strong question. Not only for an artist and not only when making art. Working intuitively leads to insights and the landscape always delivers. For me it has recently been a form of respite from ecological concerns.

My recent terracotta sculpture clusters “Klipvisse” and “Grondvoël” address local groundwater extraction issues through storytelling with mythical creatures, while my solo show of plein air landscape paintings delivered interpretations as the outdoor sketches were reworked into narrative studio canvases containing man-made objects that situate the landscape.
