Noorderlicht - Muddy Pink Dinosaur (Groningen)

In the spring of 2021, Noorderlicht Groningen invited me for an artist-in-residence at the Noorderlicht Studio. From this base, I turned the city into my studio: I collected objects and stories, carried out interventions in public space, and connected with local residents engaged in creative practices. I asked them to lend me artworks they had made in their spare time—not out of professional ambition, but from an intrinsic need to create. Their works, and practices became a rich source of inspiration.

Later that year, in a concluding exhibition, everything came together: the inspirational works, my new works and the results of my public space interventions merged into a broader, ongoing exploration of the role of art in everyday life, play, and imagination. Many thanks to the makers who generously shared their work. In this exhibition, there were also works on show by: Afvalbas, Ineke Schutte-Hoogstraten, Aletta van den Berg, Nick Landman, Annemarie Waijer, Antje Wagenaar, Bonja Bolhuis-Westerdiep, Catharina Hartman, Corian Linnemans, Frans Giesen, Harma Zant, Harriet Klompe, Hennie Mulder, Jos Dijksterhuis, Karl Huisman, Mieke Bartels-Koene, Roelof Donker, Robert, Rafaël Berton, Sikke Bart Frieling, Tirna Deb, Trudy Dehue, Rafaël Berton, Wies Bouma en Mose Tolliver
