The Fall Benefit has become an ever more successful event each year to generate support for ISCP.
I donated a MISS - white - green print, from the Five Four, More Less series for this auction on Artsy.

During my residency at ISCP in 2017, I worked on the series which was based on a selection of words in English consisting of four letters. I referenced Robert Indiana’s artwork LOVE, in which the four letters comprising the word are stacked in units of two to form a square. Approaching letters as abstract motifs and signs, that is to say the meaning of the word is secondary - while the interplay between the shapes and the background, between positive and negative space, is crucial. The images are composed of broader colored planes as well as lines of different thickness.

TWELVE / TWAALF
The number twelve carries religious symbolism, generally representing perfection, entirety, or cosmic order in traditions since antiquity.
For the exhibition 'Het woord' I’ve collected approximately 900 Dutch twelve-letter words. From this list I’ll select twelve twelve-letter words that I’ll elaborate into twelve images. These will be shown as large format posters, fine art prints and a leporello.

For this project I’m collaborating with Landa van Vliet who’s sense of language is extensive, and for me related to the area of South of Holland specifically. I’ve asked her to write a text about the number 12 and twelve letter words. We discussed about the words, and also about the words that did’t make the selection. Words like ‘keelgeluiden’ (throat sounds) or ‘verhandeling’ (treatise or essay). Her text ‘Levenswandel tot mijn twaalfde’ (‘Walk of life until I was twelve’) has an overwhelming quality, a bit like all the twelve letter words in the list. I’m very proud of the result. Brought together in the zig zag fold prose and images add different approach to thinking about the Dutch language and it’s connection to images.

The Synod of Dordrecht was an international Synod held in Dordrecht in 1618–1619, by the Dutch Reformed Church, to settle a divisive controversy initiated by the rise of Arminianism. The synod also initiated an official Dutch Bible translation (the Statenvertaling, i.e. Translation of the States or, The Dutch Authorized Version) from the original languages that would be completed in 1637. Translators were appointed, and the States-General were asked to fund the project. It had a lasting impact on the standard Dutch language, which was just then beginning to gain wider acceptance and developing a literary tradition. It would remain the standard translation in Protestant churches for more than three centuries and still is used in some sister churches of the Netherlands Reformed Congregations and similar, smaller denominations.
