Her laughter fizzes in thousands of bubbles against my skin, promising me a darkness that could hold the moon.

The lower I sink, the more her laughter eddies and swirls, nestling between the slowing beats of my chest. She catches my breath between her lips. Kisses me. Her laughter becoming mine. 

Other Moons opens the sixteen windows of Sint Nicolaasstraat as portals into other worlds. Using monotype printing techniques on cotton paper, I create figures that emerge and float across the windows. Each print captures a different moment in time, a different piece of the story exploring desire, monstrosity and long lost myths.

⭑⭒✴❈ The Magic Of Jewellery ❈✴⭒⭑ ― Talk on community-based projects with Stichting Vitaal Segbroek and Sugar House Studios

March, 2025

The 6th of March is going to be the kick start of The Magic of Jewellery, a collaboration project for an exchange of stories with students of the Jewellery- Linking Bodies department and Stichting Vitaal Segbroek and Sugar House Studios.

During the project we will explore how to create healthy connections with and within a community, by approaching art as a service and as a public space. How does socially engaged art align with the needs coming from different institutional and non-institutional spheres? How are these needs experienced from a community perspective? What are the boundaries of a community and how does art influence these boundaries? Should art influence them?
The students will delve into such exploration through a series of a community walks and cooking events, together with the community of the Stichting Vitaal Segbroek and the collective Sugar House Studios.

For the Jewellery- Linking Bodies department, the project is part of a larger commitment of its education: engaging students with society and collaborating with partners that reside also outside of their immediate environment as a fundamental aspect of the department’s pedagogical perspective.
