Lightbox
The following is a selection of images I created on the light box. To achieve the atmosphere I aim for, I use paper cutouts, photocopies, printing on glass and I use ink and water. This technique lends the images their unique cinematic character. These images suggest a narrative but do not dictate a storyline. The [...]

This book and the images I created in response deals with the difficulty of human connection and the vast inner distances we can feel even when we are physically close to someone.
