<**In bloom*

In bloom in the living room is a reflection of the daily struggle with life's demands. Life wither's.

This communicated by destroying existing flowers that act as building material for ornamentation and matter.

A collection for the living space- whitering curtains, flowercarpet, flowerbeds ,a flowerball, lily chandelier, wallflowers- extracts and imprints

of those residues have been traced in a printing technique; in bloom- an imprint archive.

In bloom continues to be explored in the continues nature between imprint and form from growth to decay with smell and other materialities.

** Flora in the Shade

<**Beeswax in Shade*

;

Sensuous Scents in bloom from an Encaustic Methodology

~Enkaustikos / = To heat or to burn

The smell of bee wax heals a livingspace. The use of a lamp warms up the beeswax and evaporates only when on.

The colors of beeswax differ to the harvest of the pollen from the bees. It matters what they eat. Forever compounded in a shade, the pigment, pollen and its natural wax.

- ongoing dissections in landscape of beeswax in nature East to West, south Netherlands- Germany border, Kerala- Karnataka border, Nepal- india border.

<**Leftovers love and Other Stories*

13 works. Shaving kit, Epiphany and a cloud, forbidden fruit, mirror mirror, big appetite, i promise, ten rose bushes,

candle light, pillowtalk, a flowerbed, Punching back, entrances and a doormat.

In the epiphancy of a cloud; ectasy within a knit 20 kg of metal knitted by hand into a hammock scape.

I imagine clouds in the city scape- hooked up to anything.

Big Appetite; gives form to many courses. A big appetite is formed by the many servings of desire-

when one in love. Created from the many plates we eat on. Deconstructed and reconstructed stories of love.

<Differently Stringed garland of grasses.*

In the course of time species adapt into the weave of everyday.
Different materialities create different shadows- - blades of grass are knots in the tapestries.
Let in the shade and fall of the wild grasses among the cushioned – a pattern is present in the unkempt grasses- combed-

through looking glasses in materials

that present artificial flowers with thorns.

It starts falling how it needs to be. Lacquered and tempered by time in Differently Stringed garland of grasses.

<**Immigration Species*

between- Green Borders ~

One talks about the grass always greener for the Other side then on. A romantized idea of immigration we seem to acknowledge.

A nailbed refers to lying on a needle bed a little uncomfortable at first but then pressuring those spots that need to comfort.

Green borders between countries in chromostereopsis of two projectiled curtains; if stared at the red one sees green and visa versa.

To encounter comfort with a border.

<*Phoolan Ki Dukan ~ The Flowershop

Flowershop concept for a shop in the village of Gunaher, Himachal Pradesh India

( known as the valley of flowers) Experiencing forms of light in the everyday routine.

Harvest is reversed in its form and captured into adornments from this particular region.

Objects like flower holders, basket lights, felted lampshade, 150 flower-necklaces made from local goat hairs, seeds/bulbs and flowers.

Pollination happends through the hairs of the goat, from one place to another.
