Treasures of Nature route

For kids of all ages.

With a map and a treasurebook kids go on a little adventure, exploring and learning about natural elements. The route ends at a 'Nature altar' where they can leave a message or wish for nature.

TREASURES OF NATURE

Little treasure boxes for kids (0-100yr) to collect small items from nature and keep them safe. A project to stimulate kids to go into nature and focus on the little details and objects.

Sculpture to honor the sun.

Wood, cloth, acrylics.

I live and work at Kampeerterrein de Lievelinge: A creative hub, camping, utopia..

A constant progress of creation and collaboration in decor, painting, projects, experiments and programs.

"Psychologists call 'liminal space' a place where boundaries dissolve a little and we stand there on the treshold, getting ourselves ready to move across the limits of what we were into what we are to be."

about being and non-being; thinking and experiencing;
about noise and attention; about here, now, this...

'Wheelin’ and healin’ at this one! Breath in, breath out… At Kokon you can get high on your own supply, dance like no one is watching, get tickled, massaged or healed by sound, get sweaty in a tipi, drink chai, fall in love with your neighbor. 

Are you one of those who like to escape reality every now and then? Or is this exactly reality? Well, you’ve come to the right place! Kokon is yours to discover!

We alight on festivals and create a space where people can escape the festival madness.'

All love. ♥

BROEI is a place in Utrecht, where you can eat, drink, meet, work, relax, create, experience, inspire, read, listen, exhibit and more.

Together with Stijn, Danny, Joep and Tomek we created this place, where I was (and still am)  in charge of the 'look and feel', both visually and spatialy. 

Besides, I'm working on a creative and cultural programming.

"The case symbolizes the circle of life.

For the infant, it is a process.

Of burying, every day watering, keeping a journal, and see how life

arises out of the box again"

Every month, together with Eva Thielen and Hugo de Haas van Dorsser, I organize an evening of Spoken Word at BROEI in Utrecht.
