Exquisite Arts Magazine Vol 3 - Nov/ Dec 2016 | Page 17

What are your artistic aspirations and goals,
what’s next for you?

Is there anything else that you’d like to share with
our audience?

I am working on two major things. A change in
what my character looks like, a more personal
approach. Can't say more about it, as it is still
work in progress. The other main thing is, I am
working on my first installation. This will be a
giant automata piece for a museum in 2018, with
working electronics and mechanical movement.
This will be a collaboration with others, which is
also new for me. A film will be made once it's
finished.

Although I've sold most of my work in the U.S., I
never had an exhibition here before. In December
I will have my first exhibition in the States (in
Cleveland, Mississippi). Next year quite a few
exhibitions are planned in the Netherlands. And if
you're in the neighbourhood you can always
swing by my new studio for a chat.
