The observer / The other side of the moon (in all it’s splendor) / Earthrise / First Steps (Take it easy) / Obversion (waxing crescent earth)

Paperweaving, 2026, 20x20cm

These works interweave a series of photographs from the NASA archives of the 1969 Apollo 11 mission with spectrograms of sound recordings from the same archive. Here, transcendental potential, rather than chronology, determines the connection between time and space. Light is shed on the self-reflective nature of several events during this mission. While the crew members photograph their own shadow on the moon's surface, they discuss the beauty of the earth. And when the first footprint is left on the moon, a voice is heard telling them to take it easy.

Glass, acoustic foam,

Presented in a handmade boxes made by Bas Lafleur, 2022

Noise Spectrum is a series of glass works that originates from a long-lasting interest in sound.The series is inspired by the noise spectrum; a range of eight different sound signals, named as colours, that correspond to a particular frequency, which the listener couples with specific material associations and states of mind. This sense of colour for noise signals is similar to the concept of timbre in music.

Noise-cancelling foam is used to mold pieces of glass in a rippled pattern, resembling sound waves. The reflective surface of the glass gives the pieces an even more liquid, transformative appearance. The collection of glass works is presented in foam-lined boxes, as jewels meant to amplify the beauty of noise.
