Sketch proposal landmark for ERMELO
The question: Design a figurative image of a PAUW (‘Peacock’)
Imagination can greatly contribute to connection. That’s why I chose a picture that suggests a peacock. An image that does not initially seem peacock but after a few seconds imagining a peacock. Because the information processed in an active way, the self-discovered image will remain in memory longer. The total consists of four objects that together form a whole and is constructed from solid Corten steel.
More information: will follow soon

Exhibition Design / Traits of Tolerance
We have created an exhibition by projecting sound and image on paintings and objects from the 17th century, In cooperation with:
Exhibition design: Studio Rogier Martens
Graphic design: Studio Jeremy Jansen
Audio visual: Motion Graphics Studio Mitchel Tan
The exhibition Traits of Tolerance tells the story of religious tolerance and intolerance in the Dutch Golden Age. Imposing pictures by great masters from the heyday of Dutch painting, superb decorative objects and contemporary photographs provide an answer to the question: how tolerant was the Netherlands back then, and how tolerant are we today?

The ‘Tree-Bench’ ( The Treehugger )
The ‘Tree Bench’ for the municipality of Amersfoort,
I actively used the environment and worked with the elements that the park had to offer: trees, city walls, paths, and grass. It is no challenge to just dig a hole and a install a bench. An ideal ( park ) bench needs the environment and the environment needs the bench too. To achieve that goal a bench contributes to the park as a walk, sit, rest, kiss, lie, meet, watch, dog walking, day-dream, stretch, run, think, decide, smoke and lunch spot
The ‘Tree-Bench’ ( treehugger – bench ) 2008 / 2011
Currently the bench is on show at the “Kunsthal KAdE” Amersfoort, The Netherlands from April 2 till may 8
