“I approach the root system as if it were yarn. For example, the refined, white root structure of grass reminds me of silk and the powerful, yellowish strands of the daisy I compare to wool.  Harvest – Exercises in root system domestication is a continuation of my earlier work on plant roots. This photo series is actually a study of work, a research for the work that I will realize in the coming year. Together with botanist scientists from the Radboud University Nijmegen, I will develop a carpet and textile of roots.”
