In preperation of the art exhibition K10D here in our Ecovillage Bergen, I’m working on a painting and concept for a XXII Tarotcard called “Freedom of Mind”.
Due to the archetypical synchronistic realm of the Tarot it’s an open investigation and invitation of spirit and meaning. Sometimes it seems, we the people, run away from non-ordinary meaning like animals from fire and then with a hop, skip and jump we turn around to embrace it as if it were our last and only friend.

Practical art. Whenever that is possible, practical art rules.
“The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master—that’s all.”
We’re working on a coffee bar made out of re-used pallets for the Eco-village Bergen. It’s just so much fun to build it…
The future of recycled pellets is here…
What is so nice about re-using pellet wood to me is that it has had a life and it shows. There are the holes of nails, rusty spots, grey areas and rough edges. There are ink-stamps with text and numbers. There’s a lot of ‘feel’ to it once it has its new destiny.
I try to reuse all of it. All the nails and wood. Find pieces that naturally fit together and make a unit. The planks and beams themselves give rise to sizes and shapes and the ‘design’ part is a combination of the size of the planks, the beams and the object.
A Study for an outdoor statue – a tribute to the dance, to movement, to motion.
Not only is everything in constant motion – motion IS everything
Raindrops on roses
And whiskers on kittens
Where is the dance
After the dance?
Where is the mind
After the body?
Everything
Arranges
Itself
