THIS WEBSITE IS PROGRESS (always)
Since 2023 I am working on a series around the subject of Care in the Bijlmermeer, my new neighborhood, in collaboration with CBK Zuidoost. Midwife Willemijn Speelman, Nursing professional Joyce Aboagye and Bike repairman Elston Barrow are my first models in care. I am portraying them during their work with my sketchbook and camera.
In 2025 a publication of the first chapter of this series will be presented, around the work of Willemijn and Joyce. Drawings, conversations, documentation footage and texts by invited writers and participants will be placed next to each other. The book will be available in both art and medical locations. Supported by Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunsten and the Mondrian Fund.
The Amsterdam UMC hospital acquired two large drawings from the first chapter. An interview with me and the head of collections is found
