Fishy, 2014

(sold) Fascinated by the form, exploring the same cone-cut-out … I was in a rush to ready my fish sculptures for an exhibition but had no proper plinth for them. Scrambling for a solution, the idea of making them out of plaster seemed to come from nowhere. Initially I considered it a temporary solution, but […]

Going somewhere …, 2014 & 2017

This is a scaled down imprint of my right foot, made for an exhibition themed “voyage.” I was remodelling our attic and the floor was quite dusty from sanding plaster from the ceiling. I lightly moistered a coloured paper and placed my foot on it. I scanned the resulting image and scaled it down to […]

Insights on Experiments (II) in clay, 2013 – 2014

After the rather exhausting work on  “Essence of France” I’ve returned to a trusted medium: clay. But as usual I cannot just continue as usual, it gets boring and I’m curious about the many possibilities of this age old material. Currently I’m pursuing two lines of experiments: hand sculpting with paper porcelain and “manufacturing multiples” […]

"A Nose for Art"

The “catalogue” text: Essence of France” is een opstapeling van verwijzingen naar haar visie over Frankrijk waardoor het en sterk symbolisch karakter krijgt. Volgens Lisbeth rust het Frankrijk van nu op de schouders van Charles de Gaulle. Charles de Gaulle is zowel de “stamvader” van de 5e Republique en een schakel naar het verleden. De […]

Essence of France: extended work process explanation

Initial proposal for the SYMBIOSE 2013 exhibition

I’m currently (feb-april 2013) working on a piece for the SYMBIOSE art festival in Breda in May 2013. The idea of the festival is that Dutch artists give their vision, interpretation, impression of France, of the French and/or of french culture and vice versa for french artists. I’m not Dutch nor French, I’m both something else […]

Insights on Grid B Lock

  This is my first work made in my new atelier alias garage alias shed. Initially, I wanted to make a cube “globe” with on each side a symbol of our earth. But I had overestimated my welding skills (haha) alongside with buying too thin steel plates to weld. They simply melted away. Having finally […]

Insights on Experiments (I)

One of my great pleasures is to experiment with materials and techniques. Usually I’m wrestling with the realization of a work, wondering about what materials I should use, like what texture, feel and expressiveness would it have. I then regularly set out with something I’ve never used or tried before and end up with something […]
