Research is a big part of my work. I'm analytical when I'm approaching things - I ask a lot of questions, eager to fully understand my topic. By circling around, seeing all sides. By zooming in, seeing the surprising details. By zooming out, finding unexpected connections.
I enjoy taking the time to map this all out, knowing that when the base is strong, any result that will come out of this is going to be right.

PLACE - PREPARATION (JOIN)
PERSON - TECHNIQUE (BAK)

ZINES
These zines were made during the first year of my Master. They are part of an ongoing research into different ways of working (with)in groups. I organized and participated in various workshops and made a little zine after each one. In doing so, I could reflect on what I had experienced, and keep a little archive of all the workshops I joined.
Each zine has the same format and follows the same structure:
TOPIC - PLACE - PREPARATION - PERSON - TECHNIQUE - OBJECT - TRANSFORMATION - STORY.
TOPIC - PLACE - PREPARATION - PERSON - TECHNIQUE - OBJECT - TRANSFORMATION - STORY.
POSTERS
These posters are visual expressions of some recurring ideas and solutions I observed during my internship at OpenEmbassy. I've noticed that it often helps to attach a story and an image to a certain type of idea, in order to recognize it more easily. None of these solutions or ideas are 'bad' - quite the contrary! But it is good to be aware of the context and intention of your ideas, if you want to keep them sharp.
