Moulding

Working with my hands with another material.
I do like this a lot.
Experience the material and letting go the idea of making something.
I have to know what i'm working with first.
But of course i have some ideas...


And the twin is born! Welcome Rixt and Dytmer!

Oh boy...

The young one...he is in for some adventures...so the first finger was broken!
He is doing fine and he managed to do most of the things he normally does.
And now without the plaster, he can do everything again...(he thinks!)
So 2 days ago he was playing again around the water....he fell in and decided to swim across!
With all his clothes and winter jacket!

His friend was impressed. I'm curious about the other adventures to come...

Popsicle

My friend Ingrid has made her first product! "Pile me up", she said and tomorrow there will be a presentation in Zwolle.
Popsicle is her design label, and more products to come. I really like her own hand in all her work, like the coffe/wine on top.
She did a lot of work for television and film aswell with her other company Zijwind...so check her out!

--Op zaterdag 14 april van 11:00 uur tot 16:00 uur wordt designlabel Popsicle op een ludieke manier in Zwolle gelanceerd.
In de etalages van Bang & Olufsen, NoaNoa en Casual Friday in de Luttekestraat, worden de belevingswerelden van Popsicle vertaald in een decor met levende etalagepoppen.
Tijdens deze lancering presenteren we ons eerste product; zitelement “Pile me up”, she said--

Urban Carpet

Photos by Instant Hutong


URBAN CARPET 8 pieces 180x180 cm. embroidery on canvas

Carpets are representing different maps of Hutong areas in downtown Beijing with a size of approximately one square kilometre and a population of 30000. Each of them has been isolated and presented as autonomous town within the big city. They are embroidered by hand with the same technique of the propaganda slogans on large fabrics used by the communist party during the seventies. The carpets have been filled with white wire wool insertions.
