"More or Less?" is the sixth iteration of a publication series produced by SU4IP. (Sheffield, UK). Featuring the works of twenty-five different artists, all of which could in some way be described as maximalist, large, heavy, dense, or complicated, or alternatively; minimalist, small, light, dispersed, or simple.

"More or Less" is created in the interest of contrasting both, in a way that exemplifies and our creative differences, the potential for communicating ideas, and the extent to which artistic mediums are applied. Publisher and initiator is Lyndon Watkinson

“Dark Paths”

A visual metaphor for an indefinable latent threat. Present in an environment with no open exit. The search for a path that allows us to leave the threatening and hostile environment. Even the open sky is no relief as it too became part of a repellent environment. 

My contribution to the Land Art Festival Ode aan de Linge during the Pentecost weekend  from19.05-20.05.2024

in Heemtuin, Geldermalsen, ,Netherlands

"Far Away or 9051"

The Land Art installation reflects the theme “VERTEPIJN” (want to leave, desiring something in the distance) of the Land Art Festival. . You are in a place far away and yet everything is somehow connected to the place you left. But even when we leave, we always take things, feelings or memories with us from the place we left. But the desire to leave may not mean setting off for distant horizons, but can also mean wanting to leave ties, connections and boundaries behind. The work contains as well some autobiographical elements
