"Installation in Waagdragerhof Square in Amsterdam. Over the course of eight days and with the help of more than 100 volunteers, 250,000 euro-cent coins were sorted into four different shades and carefully placed over this 300-sq.-meter area to spell out the sentence."
"It’s an open piece, inviting people to enter it, like a grand-mother embracing her children.
I always imagined that our skin is permanently tattooed with text – our life, our experiences – tattooed, but with invisible ink. And then suddenly, somebody is able to decipher these tattoos; that person becoming a lover, a friend. That is probably why I work with sculptures like this, this human form composed solely of letters, like cells. It’s almost biological."
"The recent discovery of fossilized letters sheds new light on the history of language and prehistoric man’s relationship with symbols. Personally though, I think we should extract DNA from these samples and fuse them with frog proteins to create recombinant Type that we shall put in cages and display in a park! And also Jeff Goldblum is there."
"My first artist’s book.
A book as an artwork, an artwork as a book.
The brief stated that we should shape our artistic vision in the form of an artwork. This piece of art should have its origin in the book. Inspired by the arts and craft movement as well as the Bauhaus functionalism, I created my own kind of art tool. The painter has his brush, the carpenter his hammer, I have my typographic ball. This piece is the start of a much bigger project where I will build a series of typographic spheres, and use these to make books with unique prints."
