My English pages

Most of my work nowadays is text-based, written in Dutch, and must be translated before it will appear on My English pages.
I simply don't have time to translate all my work, so what you find here is all I can offer you right now.

Statement

Not in imitation of, but with great affinity for the anarchistic method Anything goes by the philosopher Paul Feyerabend, I assume pluralism as an ideal, both socially and in the arts.
I also try to express this pluralism in my own work, in a form of diversity, frequently in a trial and error process.
To achieve this I make use of several disciplines: poetry, essays, painting, installation art and internet. Almost all of my work can be positioned as engaged art.
