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)

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.

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
