"My work centers around the alienation symptomatic of modern Western society. I experienced alienation in my youth when I moved from the city to a small town as a queer child with two mothers. I felt alien: disconnected from the world, my surroundings, and the people around me. The physical manifestation of this self-alienation, a feeling of being trapped inside my body, is reflected in my installations.

The economic and social frameworks of alienation, are expressed in various ways in my work: I make the feeling of alienation tangible in Corpus Alienum, visualize (digital) consumerism in Self Portrait Afflicted by Time and Corpus Alienum, reveal systems that cause alienation in The Fed Underbelly of Silicon Valley, and explore the reduction of the human condition in De Stik Mens and Two-Dimensional Man.

Besides depicting the body, I aim to engage the visitor's body. I want to stimulate all senses; smell, hearing, sight, and touch all play a role. Thereby, the visitor often has to sit, crawl, or bend deeply (e.g. to see a video placed on the ground). For my immersive installations, I see the visitor’s body as part of the work.

I primarily work with natural materials that eventually decay, leaving only metal structures (and electronics) behind as a skeleton – just like the many people who will perish while the systems endure."
