Mi Casa
A project to recreate the various rooms in a house, using only A4 sheets of 250g card, folded and cut so they pop-out, no glue is involved and no trickery, The series consists of a kitchen, a bathroom, living room, bedroom and a garden, all can be folded flat and have no pieces added beyond the sheet from which they are cut. These pieces are going to be used as the backdrop or scenery for a movie I having been planning for some time. Welcome to Mi Casa...(click the thumbnails for 2 other rooms)

Prikkelend Papier
The first 'Kunstnacht' in Den Bosch, saw me take over a former red-light window on the Schilderstraat. Re-pleat with paper folds covering the walls, paper attire and solicitation. There were raised eyebrows, frowns, smiles and chocolate...click the thumbnails for bigger versions & more photos can be found in the album here.

The Tetrahedron
The Tetrahedron
A tetrahedron made completely out of paper, there is no glue involved, just 5 interlocking pyramids, each made out of 6 pieces, with a simple fold which locks all those individual pieces together and stops the whole structure from falling apart.

The Advent Calendar
A project for a friend, the idea being to make a new and unique 3D, pop-up or interactive card, each day, one for each and every day of advent. The cards were hand delivered everyday in an anonymous manner, maintaining a veil of secrecy until the very last day.

Volume
The DJ business card has the personal details on the reverse side and when the tab is pulled as demonstrated in the video, the 'volume level' is increased or decreased.

Equaliser
Another DJ business card prototype where when the tab is pulled back and forth, there is an animation simulating a graphic equaliser. The name/address etc are on the other side.

More Paper Work
For my exhibition 'More Paper Work' I created a substantial paper sculpture out of more than 400 individually folded sheets of white A4 paper. Once made the folds can be twisted and turned and ultimately, returned to a state of flatness with little fuss. The result was a beautiful interplay of fine lines, combining bright light areas and corresponding dark shadows. The shapes move form with the light and even appear to invert depending on the light source and strength. (Click the thumbnails for other views of the folds being constructed)

Tings Me Like
Various Links of a few people I know:

Lyn Lowenstein - Lyn, multi talented artist, she may be anxious but she is a clever one.

Karen Livesey - Karen is a fine documentary film maker and she is seriously funny too :-)

Anthon Astrom - the ramblings of the a-hole, the boy who codes and creates and watches movies all at the same time.

spotov - the spotov gives a small insight into the inner workings of her cham packed mind and where incidentally, I can be seen dealing with spam and eggs.

Jonas Lund - a collection of the j-low's work, he of the alter-ego 'Mr Photographer' and the crazy snus sucking.

Esther van Waalwijk - Het werk van Ester, mijn begaafde vriendin. A corridor made of fishing line and living seascapes at L'heure Bleue to name but two.

Monsieur Grat - the photo work of Monsieur Grat aka APS, a few familiar faces there.

Strand Beest - the amazing living sculptures of Theo Jansen.

About Me
I live in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. I fold, crease, take pictures, make bread, films and procrastinate.(That's me on the left of the photo as Jake the Peg)

I am not (but would quite like to be) a mariner, skateboarder, crofter, contemporary dancer or a coquito farmer high in the Chilean Andes.
