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.
