About
I am a visual artist and work mainly with photography and
sculpture.
For several years I worked in stone in Carrara Carrara (Italy).
Later I set up my studio in a remote place in Corsica and
started making installations and photographs in nature.
Back in Belgium, I set up an artist residency for writers and
and besides running this place, I worked on my own visual
work.
Nowadays, my home base is in Ossogne -Thuin (Belgium)
and the Auvergne (France).
Reflections
I collaborated with Katherine Lyall-Watson on a book of
photographs and poetry about the lake Parilanjärvi.
I have an intimate rapport with nature and my respect for
natural materials and their inherent beauty is a great source
of inspiration. I attempt to reveal what is invisible and silent.
I like to explore the relationship between nature and people
and sometimes my work is clearly socially engaged.
