shelf exercises exhibited at Prep-Up, Rich Mix, London; Library Construction, Camberwell College of Arts Library; Pop Up Show, MA Book Arts & Printmaking studio space, Camberwell College of Arts; Room 216, residency, Camberwell College of Arts library shelf ‘Cantilibra‘, leadings and furniture printed by letterpress on utility papers dimensions variable 2017- The shelf stands for storage of ideas, concepts and combination of areas. All installations are elements of a bigger arrangement, taken out of some bigger construction and acting as a suggestion. What I physically construct in letterpress, not only from type, but also from furniture and rules, is the space that I transfer onto the prints. At the same time it is the depiction of the space I constructed.

inbedsidebooks plexiglas, letterpress, collected photos, copied and scanned on 80 gsm paper, bible paper, stapled open edition 21 cm x 14.8 cm 2015-2016 This movable is part of the project inbedsidebooks about nictophobia, the fear of darkness, and the mental and architectural space around oneself when falling asleep. The included QR code serves as a possibility of (self-) therapy giving access to a Pop-up-PDF to download and print anywhere. The folded A4 format of the printed movable connects to this idea of approachability. The magazine is accompanied by perforated cards that can be divided into bookmarks suggesting having pages of a book rather than a screen between one’s fingers before switching off the bedside lamp.
