Lucebert collage

This collage is made from paper, textiles, paint and stitching. I also added a leaf I made using machine stitching.

I added a quote from the Dutch poet Lucebert, "Alles van waarde is weerloos" [All worthwile things are vulnerable], in stitching.

Using a more graffiti-like style, which contrasts with the quote, I wanted the piece to become more of an interrogation of the truth of Lucebert's phrase.

Just Jump!

This is one of my small, more surreal, cartoonish pieces. Just a bit of fun!

A tiny map

This is a tiny map of Cambridge, where my son lives. I stitched it partly from memory and partly with the help of Google Maps. Memorable spots and those important to me personally are marked on the map. 

It's my response to the workshop I did with Vanessa Rolf. Stitching a map is a great way to remember and think about stuff. And you end up with a lovely souvenir!
