Imprint Stones Former Mercury Mine
A collaboration with nature through the anthotype process. Using turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon, stones from a former mercury mine in Idrija become co-creators, shaping the final images and revealing a silent dialogue between artist and earth.
Een samenwerking met de natuur, waarin stenen het beeld mede vormgeven en een stille dialoog tussen mens en aarde zichtbaar maken.

Tsuba
Inspired by The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben
Tsuba explores how invisible boundaries can be made visible.It creates a space of respectful distance, inviting awareness rather than exclusion, where the boundary becomes a gesture of care.
Waar onzichtbare grenzen zichtbaar worden en ruimte ontstaat voor aandacht en zorg.

Maat der dingen
Rings written from words may not seem readable at first, just as we have forgotten how to understand nature’s call. By opening up to new ways of understanding, a connection with the world around us can emerge.
Here, nature becomes the measure of all things.
Ringen van woorden lijken onleesbaar, als een vergeten taal, maar in het openen voor nieuwe manieren van kijken kan een verbinding met de wereld om ons heen ontstaan.

Between Vapour and Pollen
Where bees hum and mines echo, a fragile balance between labour and care emerges. In Idrija, where mercury has been mined since 1490, workers moved between harsh underground labour and beekeeping. Revealing who they were beyond the mine: their care, their connection to nature, and their lives between two worlds.
In Idrija leefden mijnwerkers tussen twee werelden: de mijn en de bijenteelt.
Het laat zien hoe werk, natuur en zorg met elkaar verbonden waren.
Nature’s Monument
Dead wood is often misunderstood, yet it is full of life. What seems like forest waste is in fact a vital, living network. Fallen trees are not endings, but beginnings. Some organisms can only thrive once a tree has died.
In Nature’s Monument, I honour dead wood as sacred matter an often overlooked source of biodiversity and life.
Dood hout zit vol leven. Omgevallen bomen zijn een begin, geen einde; sommige soorten leven pas na de dood van een boom.
