articles / interviews
In 2024 I collaborated for the first timewith Weverijmuseum Geldrop.
The ‘translation’ of my drawings into weaving takes place on a computer-controlled Itema jacquard machine that is quite new at the old Weverij. The ‘slow’ making and ‘weaving with lines’ is related to my own daily drawing practice, in which time investment plays a role.
BANDUNG INDONESIA. Oh Tina! Before Eulogy
a site-specific magical performative artproject with Goethe Institute Bandung
curators: Architect Dea Widya and writer Suina Latersia.
On “The Tina and Joi” Trilogy; a fictional story about a young couple struggling in a conflictual marriage and their daily life in the city. At a former colonial house, home to Goethe Institute Bandung, managed by The Lodge Foundation in Bandung’s DAGO district, the performance-related installations were staged in various media responding to the story of the mysterious Tina. In this artistic re-enactment, the house regained its original status as the home of the disappeared bride Tina. The multimedia disciplines of the participating artists complemented each other in a hybrid route through different rooms in the house. The audience felt Tina’s presence in “traces she left behind” and her spirit in the atmosphere.
I elaborated on the story with a magical installation consisting of large printed 400 cm high endurable textile panels that hung down in the patio. Drawings and real plants were projected via two mobile overhead projectors on the panels. Performative presentations were done two times on 7 nights. The audience became part.

publications
“il pourrait ne pas disparaître“
inspired by the collection of Frits Lugt at Fondation Custodia
I see my love for drawing figurative and natural elements and stories in the drawings of the Custodia Foundation collection. During the working period at Atelier Néerlandais in April, I worked on a collection of ‘miniature drawings’ that took up residence in an antique art nouveau album I found at the flea market. The album is reminiscent of the beautiful folders of drawings Frits Lugt collected for the Custudia Foundation collection.
JaDa – De Missie Residency project
From March 1 to May 31, 2021, JaDa worked at the studio of
AIR De Missie, in nursing home Park Zuiderhout. We lived and worked among the priests and missionaries, who reside there in the last phase of their working lives. We studied the history of the institution and its residents. The former missionaries traveled the world; they worked in Congo, Ghana, the Philippines, Brazil, Papua New Guinea and the Dutch East Indies and have amazing stories. JaDa was also on a mission: the mission to propagate the arts.
