Experiment

I feel very much drawn to 'life-experiments'. Changing your routine for a set period of time, following a set of rules never fails to refresh your perspective. I did a lot of Minimalism-related experiments. Getting rid of x amount of stuff a day or quitting social media/tv for an amount of time. I found out it can be integrated with every day life. I am already making up new ones.. What about you?

Really enjoyed making this

Bygones

A trip to my sweet friends, feels like a trip to the past. At the same time it fuels my dreams for the future: living a big life in a small and simple place.

1 & 3. I have build up my illustration as a collage, I like the freedom it gives to experiment.

2. Photo made during a pittoresk walk. Something like this maybe? How small is too small?

Slow

Going slow takes courage in my experience, but if we're in a hurry all the time we miss the best things in life. I try to regularly remind myself: Don't forget to smell, to taste, to daydream, to dance in the rain. Don't forget to live.

Turn back Time

These are drawings my granddad made. We never drew together (I am not sure if I would have dared to), but I could read between the lines that he enjoyed a granddaughter that loved drawing just as much as he did. Sometimes I wish he had taken his talent more seriously, but at least he left these and several others behind for us to enjoy.

Vision

I believe that a strong vision can shape reality, but life can be distracting. Images can go beyond 'the way things are' and can make such strong reminders of how we want life to be. That is one of the main reasons why I love creating them!
