About/CV:
Statement:
I am a self taught photographer born (1979), living and working in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Wandering through the edges of cities, looking for colourful beauty in the desolate corners of grey, man-made, structures, I photograph the (sleeping) infrastructure of the urban environment.
I work with themes and ideas dealing with public space, abstraction, transformation, the passing of time, change, function and transition.
I look for corners in and around buildings in which the mixture of different colored lightsources and the interaction of light and shadow create semi abstract compositions build up of lines and blocks of light and/or color.
