a. Dothinking, 2003-2004
An interpretation of this drawing of the series Dothinking was one of the first reliefs for the project Obstacles.

b. – (Crox-book 1), 2006
This book is the first in a series of books published by the artist-run space Croxhapox. It contains reproductions of 32 charcoal drawings of the work Dothinking. For the cover of the book I used a sprayed brick pattern similar to the one in the drawings.

a. Blossoming of Thinktwig, 2002-2003
The brick pattern paper used in this towerlike object inspired me to make a handmade brick pattern template. I used this template to spray brick patterns on drawings (Dothinking) and objects (Blossoming of Thinktwig).

a. Smoking carpet (film), 2007
When all guests have gone home, he can finally relax. In his head the conversation and discussions are still vivid. He lights a cigarette and recalls the highlights of the evening: the vacuuming, the company and warmth of a slobbering and wagging friend and finally the beneficial effects of an acupuntural Stiletto treatment.
