Exhibition: Floating Observations
17 oct ’20 – 5 jan ’21

Paper Art & Design Gallery is celebrating the tenth edition of our exhibition series! What brings the current exhibition Floating Observations, with the H.E.R.B.S. paper project in collaboration with Studio Nienke Hoogvliet and concept brand FANT. There you can see the research result of one week of dyeing with Rosemary and Sage. We made many sheets of herbal paper, colored woolen scarves and collages of textile and paper. In the same exhibition Danièle Knirim shows her special new vintage collages. We celebrate the research and the arts!

My new series of works focus on the highs and lows in life. The collages are about jumping towards the sky and the nasty feeling of a free fall to a dark place. From everyone’s own emotional perspective it is recognizable when the bottom has been reached, only to start longing for the heights again. In the larger works it is persons jumping and falling, represented from different points of view. In the smaller works the figures fall into abstract forms which translate the heights and the depths.

Wine label

Every year, “De Haagse Stadswijngaard”, a unique vineyard in The Hague, invites an artist from The Hague to make the wine label for their “Wine of the Year”. I was chosen to make the label for 2020.

It was such an honor to make an illustration of the bouquet of the wine. The fresh mix of flavors with a nose of freshly picked blossom, white peaches, apricots and a subtle sour.
The label and wine were launched on 19th of September on their annual open day. So thankful for this lovely commission and the bottles of wine!
