Drawing and photography are two disciplines that alternately trigger me. Sometimes I use them both side by side, for instance in the form of a booklet or leporello. With both I am experimenting and investigating, which produces surprising images; abstract, still or poetic.
 My drawings are not preconceived, they arise spontaneously, layer upon layer. I never work
 towards a certain end goal. It can be finished from one stroke to the next; it is always a
 surprise.
 In photography, it works differently. I am not really a photographer; I only use the medium
 to achieve a certain result. Sometimes I see something that intrigues me, like a shadow,
a reflection, a line or a beautiful spot. Only later, on my screen, I see if I can do something with it. That may also be years later when I come across the photo again and suddenly see something in it.
