I am interested in perception and the construct of the (moving) image. As a native of the Netherlands, my work is informed by the (Dutch) landscape and its implication in art history. Throughout history, the words nature and landscape have traveled through a semantic journey of meaning. My work continues this discourse related to the ever-expanding possibilities of (digital) technology.
