Putting the 147 pieces back together after painting them felt and sounded just like playing with building blocks. Hence the name ;-).

My works are usually created in series, and I enjoy working with materials that come my way – be it wooden panels from the bulky waste, plastic flowers from a flea market, and so on. This often dictates the format straight away.I enjoy ‘rough’ working methods, for example using construction adhesive, and then I paint the pictures in light – I’d even say kitsch – pastel wall colours to contrast with this roughness. I ‘make it pretty’. In doing so, I like to stick to this DIY catalogue aesthetic. In keeping with this theme, some of the ‘(B)Angel pictures’ are also set against kitsch textured wallpaper. In this series, the focus of the work is, on the one hand, a critique of existing body and role stereotypes, and on the other, an imaginative glorification of them.
