The true identity of this self-made man remains shrouded in mystery and all that is known is his enormous appetite for pseudo-scientific research and occultism. His interests ranged from chemistry to esotericism, astrology and the magical power of “Egyptian” amulets. Fraud, amongst others, was his main occupation.

I love this project : True Colours : from Lex Pott made of the materials copper, aluminium, brass and steel.

Lex Pott: “When an element like copper is found in nature it has  a green colour. Iron has an orange / brown  colour when being found inside the earth. Oxidized metal surfaces create colours that provide information about a material. The pallete is a reaction with the base material.  Therefore the coloured surfaces have an organic growth  of colour and not every colour is possible on every surface. Colouring metals requires accurate recipes. This project shows the results of a research on metals and their true colours; a direct relationship between colour, material and information.” Edition of 20 sets.

During my intership at Studio Aandacht I worked on this production for Volkskrant Woonspecial (a livingspecial attached to the newspaper). It was called Touch Me, and we made 4 spreads. On the first image you see the cover of the magazine. The second image is one of the moodboards I made for preparation. On the last image you see one of the end result. For the whole production you can check my website.

Today I went with my sister to Lovenjoel, Belgium for a visit at Salve Mater, a psychiatric hospital for females, for an assignment. The psychiatric hospital was a centre for female patients and was owned by the university to educate student psychiatrists. Built in 1926. Partly Abandoned in 1997.

The (school) assignment I am making is for Bloom Magazine (from Lidewij Edelkoort). A forecasting with a photoshoot. Soon at my website.

Fascinating, forceful, clear and minimal architecture. These architects created wonderfull concepts. In the middle you can see The Truffle by Ensamble Studio.
The truffle is a piece of nature built with earth, full of air. A space within a stone that sits on the ground and blends in with the territory. It camouflages, by emulating the processes of mineral formation in its structure and integrates with the natural environment, complying with its laws.

They made a hole in the ground, piling up on its perimeter, the topsoil removed and obtained a retaining dike without mechanical consistency. Then, they materialized the air building a volume with hay bales and flooded the space between the earth and the built air to solidify it. The poured mass concrete wrapped the air and protected itself with the ground. time passed and we removed the earth, discovering an amorphous mass.

This is some work from last year: trendmagazine 2020 called: SPECImen, The Origin of Species Revisited. It’s a countermovement of the world we live in. A world were everything seems achievable. This is why the human loses contact with his origin. Because of that distance the need of rebirth arises. Important keywords are: intuition, tactile, body, reality and imperfect.

This is the result of  ‘Furniturised’, were the model model takes over the character of the furniture. Colour, shapes, structure, materials. In total I have made 8 portraits.

This work is from my classmate (WILLEM DE KOONING ACADEMY) and friend Mandy Rep. The experimental shapes are very inspiring! m

Seaweed by Tell no One, the simplest ideas are often the best. It is made by Luke White and Remi Weekes. Seaweed features (I assume) Luke, contorting his body in random positions but slowly layering himself… over himself. To try and describe exactly what’s happening in this video would be a tiny bit difficult but the end effect is totally rad. In the comments he says he “Cut out the arms and then just jiggled them about” but I have to imagine he did much more than that.

This took my breath away. The installation is a collaboration between Transsolar climate enginners and Tetsuo Kondo Architects. It was shown at the Venice Biennale. Cloudscape creates a cloud in the interior of the Arsenale. Visitors can walk below, through, and above the cloud on a walkway that could easily be mistaken for a section.

This project I made with Floor Kuitert and Kelly Nederlof. Pour me. We made 4 conserving submissions and 2 conserving necklaces. Inside the necklace is a baby tooth, a memory, a precious treasure. We wanted to carry those memory’s close, we wanted to keep them, to conserve them.

This typerface of Bjorn Johansson is so beautiful. “Typographic was born out of the belief that a highly focused creative team will yield the most effective and innovative results. Our strength lies in our ability to pool our collective experience to develop branding solutions that satisfy our clients business objectives.”

Typographic possesses a breadth and depth of experience that encompasses multiple media – from traditional print, packaging and Web site development – and multiple industries.

This is what we are gonna see in a few. Romans, sticky romans.  Soft pastels -like coral, red, ochre yellow, blur blue- and light plays an important part. These set-designs inspire me tremendously.

This is where I am working on right now, a photo serie of 8 portraits. Het model takes over the character of the furniture. The model takes over the colour, shapes, structure, materials from the furniture. I am very busy with the other 7 portraits, i’ll show it soon!

I love the work of Paul Octavious. He is a photographer placed in Chicago. Landscape comprises the visible features of an area of land, including the physical elements of landforms, water bodies such as rivers, lakes and the sea, living elements of land cover including indigenous vegetation, human elements including land uses, buildings and structures, and transitory elements such as lighting and weather conditions.
