I am a visual artist based in Brussels who mainly experiments with the way language and linguistic principles can be used to create visual and spatial narratives. These narratives are composed of publications, texts, drawings and sculptures that culminate in installations. My installations are often rooted in intimate stories and familiar objects, which I intertwine with wordplay, language games, and, above all, coincidences—such as slips of the pen or tongue.
My research leads me through history and past traditions, where I look for possible connections. This specific way of identifying relationships and patterns serves as a model for my narratives.
Recently, my sculptural practice has turned to experiment with organic materials and those from the domestic sphere. This research is accompanied by a growing interest in disciplines identified as ‘feminine’, ‘passive’ or ‘minor’, such as decoration and ornamentation, leisure and craft, alternative medicine, pseudo-science and mysticism. I examine how the aesthetics produced by these fields can serve as a form of subversion, challenging dominant cultural narratives.
Alongside the development of my sculptural practice, writing and publishing remain at the heart of my work, and I seek to connect them more closely.
I am interested in private lexicons, mixing texts, drawings and other mediums in ways that have internal logics not necessarily discernible to those outside. My work, often presented in minimal and very precise installation, acts as an abstract semiotic system that generate meanings via a process of interaction.
