Through the years I have created installations for many spaces chosen for their unique character. The works are a response to the space itself. Themes deal with energy, and transformation: the materials are simple and have a fragile quality.
In the photographic installations the images reflect on space, temporality, and the non-material.

Why is the Sky Blue? The Waag, an exhibition space for contemporary art located in a 16th century architectural monument, Leiden, NL. 1993 I was asked by the curator to create a work on the theme “the wall”. As I considered the concept, the thought struck me “what is behind the wall?” In response to the windowless space I created seven large photographs of unending, blue skies in zinc frames. Text sandblasted on the glass of the three round frames enhanced the poetic quality of the work. 4 rectangular photos: 60 x 48 x 4 inch (150 x 120 x 8cm), round photos: diameter, 39 x 39 x 4 inch (100 x 100 x 8cm).

The Space Between / Room One
Warehouse 4, east harbor of Amsterdam NL. The former warehouse was used for many years to store wood brought by boat from Russia. 1987 The project was located in three connecting concrete rooms under the immense warehouse. The experience of the dimly lit, still, subterranean rooms was intensified by each sound that echoed loudly. This reverberating sound inspired the works. Wall drawings with powdered pigment, 8 x 4 feet(2.4 x 1.21m)

Seven Works for Seven Rooms / Room 6
De Brandweer Kazerne (firehouse), a 17th century building, Amsterdam NL. 1986 The building was partially demolished and the elements of nature had crept in; wind and rain had entered the architectural environment freely. The atmosphere was raw and inhospitable. Using discarded materials found on site, I constructed works to reflect the unique energy of each space. Spiral made of tarpaper and nails, 24 x 7 feet (7.31 x 2.13m)
