Project about fashion and making a fashion collection. During alsmost 3 months I worked on the Pal Maas project. I guided 25 young people, aged between 14 and 17 years old with the making of a fashion collection. At the end we had a runway show. For the whole project go to www.palmaas.nl.

“Cinderella’s Chair” is a follow up of my project “Buitenbeentje”. Prostheses of glass, like a prosthetic leg, custom made for each chair. Glass is a malleable material when heated, so the glass was blown onto the chair, which provides every chair with its own unique prosthesis.

Glass however, is also a very fragile material. It is not often used for purposes of construction. The legs of glass are strong enough to
carry weight though. One can easily sit on the chairs, something you do not expect when you see them.

“Pour me” is a cooperation with Kristian de Leeuw, a Dutch photographer. Photography is about capturing a moment. “Pour me” is also about capturing a moment of movement, the movement of the paint dripping from the faces, whether human or animal.

The layers of paint cause a deformed effect on the faces and bodies. Two people become one and faces become masks.

Live performance of the movie “a matter of appearance” customized for Rikit people for the Sebastian fair April 19th.

Graduation project

Buitenbeentje (Dutch for odd man out) is a research on the qualities of poly-urethane resin.

This research is the result of my fascination for everything that differs the normal: the odd man out, the freaks.

Certain appearances that are so ugly and disgusting that they become interesting.

The research is about capturing a moment of movement.
