This protest sign is based on the story of a young couple, a Muslim boy and a Christian girl who tried to escape from Sarajevo during the Bosnian war. They were shot dead in the hills and lay there, hand-in-hand, for several weeks, in the eyes of the media. No one could retrieve their bodies because of snipers. In Sarajevo, 3 religions have lived peacefully together for over 500 years until the Bosnian war broke out in 1992.

The West-Indische Compagnie fireplace sculpture was stolen in the 1950's. The only thing that remained of its existence was a small picture, photographed from the side. I stretched it out, enlarged it and spent a week drawing the baroque design of shells and underwater life. The drawing has been used to bring the carving back to life 2003 (photo's will follow)

I moved house regularly and with each move I was confronted with a box of love letters that I could no longer do anything with. Past relationships and love, I could still feel them when going through the letters. I needed to put it behind me and so I came up with the idea of turning it into this work, a red heart of love letters in a gilded frame. The work represents the love I once felt.

The first design of the villa- not realised due to limited time to realise. The plan was a wooden structure and a lot of glass walls, hay bales as walls, finished with stucco

Dates from 1986, when I felt like a hunted species when riding my motorcycle

A real bull is a vegetarian - as a counterpoint that a real Spanish macho should eat meat.
