Group project and exhibition ‘Container 1′ in former Pauluskerk in Arnhem. 23 visual artists from different disciplines and 10 theatre actors/directors work together and produce new work in 3 weeks. The space had been a chirch and a sport hall. I contributed a floor painting that merges with the existing sport lines and a serie of flying lightbulbs in the blue dome of the former chirch.

Academy exhibition and graduation of my experimental post graduate year interior architecture at CHK Constantijn Huygens (art academy) in Kampen, 1997.
This year had an overall theme: nursing homes. I took the liberty to slightly bend the assignment; instead of designing solutions for the inhabitants of nursing homes, I designed furniture that needs care itself, because it has typical human illnesses and disabilities, both physical and mental.
I designed several pieces of furniture in which I translated my view on the main characteristics of a certain illness or disability. The ones I eventually produced are ‘Dementiestoel’ and ‘Dwarsleasietafel’. This furniture seems to have the ability to create some degree of awareness, because it forces the observer to take a fresh look at the implications of a specific illness or disability.
I presented this furniture and a large (A0) drawing of all the designs, in a space defined by a suspended curtain rail.

Dwarsleasietafel (Dwarsleasie table) is a table with a completely paralysed body. The body is made of polyurethane, a flexible rubberlike material. The only way it is still able to stand up straight and carry its own bodyweight, is with the aid of an exoskeleton (made of steel).
Dwarsleasietafel is now on sale: 1750 euro 300 euro.

Dementiestoel (Alzheimer Chair) is a visual representation of Alzheimer, translated into a chair. The chair misses a piece of vital information to function correctly, in this case a leg. It tries to cope (and initially deny) this loss, by fabricating alternate structures. Although the chair might think that his problem is now no longer visible to the outside world (and therefore fixed), it is clear to all healthy chairs that the new structure does not resemble the missing leg.
Dementiestoel is now on sale: 490 euro 100 euro.

Best of both worlds. I can look at a website from a design point of view AND from a technical point of view. I often collaborate with other artists, designers or developers.
