In recent years, I have been exploring whether other materials, both analogue and digital, can contribute to my work. I started to use soft, tactile materials such as canvas and ceramics. I made tapestries in collaboration with a machine, and digital collages of failed paper prints.

In ‘Our Surfaceless Bodies’, an installation at 171ProjectSpace in Arnhem, I combined these materials.

In dialogue, the digital and handmade convey a sensation of bodylesssness and alienation. Digital prints, machine-made tapestries, handmade ceramics and drawings are joined in a play with spacial lines in wood. They reflect on our need for physical touch, the sensory body, when meeting each other - the lack thereof when meeting online, and the sense of alienation this causes.
