-Earthed / 2018 – prepared for take off

Earthed / 2018 /

These startup images give an impression while preparing myself to portray people, materials and natural resources in ecological villages and on agricultural (farm)land. To create an intrinsic natural world to be found across the Netherlands. This art photography is based on experimental techniques in combination with a documentary-like way of working. To deepen imagery of the relation between people and nature, beyond economical control.

Ecovillage Aardehuis (Olst, NL) consists of several Earthships and uses sustainable (energy) resources. Check the publication of my work Earthship (2017) in Focus Magazine.

In many African countries people continue building their home brick by brick after they’ve earned the money: dealing with Africa Time.
I’ve had to create the right circumstances to photograph natural surroundings and organizations more by moving to Deventer with my daughter (where my partner moved in). We’re sharing a family of five now.

I’ll portray people and natural resources artistically in an ecological or agricultural project, adding a psychological layer to my work. By manipulating photo negatives with various materials I aim to simulate superconscious realities.
