My work says more about me than facts ever could. It speaks of who I am, where I come from, and how I try to make sense of the world we live in.
But if facts still matter, here are some. I love animals, especially dogs, and I have a particular fascination with cows. At the same time, I am not a vegetarian. I use creativity as an outlet, a way of coping with the obvious collective madness. I found peace in classical ballet, and I still find peace in it, even though it remains a deeply repressive and misogynistic milieu, complicated and problematic when viewed from a contemporary perspective. Maybe this is why I also find it attractive and relevant. I like to keep my life tidy and organised. I enjoy spending time with people who talk a lot, they calm my restless thoughts, especially when they talk nonsense. And if it still feels important to know where and when I was born, where I studied, or who I have worked with, you can scroll through the text below, or write to me with the kind of questions that tend to appear on an average Tuesday afternoon.
