The physical power of sound is her inspiration source. Earlier work concerned research in magnetic fields, pneumatic sounds and the ´quake-factor´ or vibration and resonance behaviour of daily objects, to shape an audible landscape of sound layers. Now she has changed her direction more in a philosophical way towards nature.
Her best known work so far is the SPLASHBOX , her 8th kinetic sound-sculpture, rewarding her with an entry for the ´ Guthman Instrument Design Competition’ held at Georgia-Tech University in Atlanta (US) in 2014.
In 2019 she participated with a project called 1001 poems for 1 night, in Night of the Deads at NDSM in Amsterdam. It existed of 500,5 own poems, fixed on a long washing line of 100 meters. A playful research about death. The poems were written on plastic sheets, each one filled with beach-sand and a shell. The poems made great sounds, wildly being moved by the wind.
