America

17 - Americar

America(2011) is a personal portrait of America. Shot in the abandoned parking lot of the Monroeville mall, I was ‘ghost riding my whip’. The car, Americar, was put in drive, we got out of the car as it was driving and climbed on top of it for some all American posing. Oh America, all handicapped parking…

Phantom Limb

Phantom Limb (2017) consists of a series of moving arms holding knives. The arms move and continuously stab the space around them, hitting each other, the floor, or the walls. It’s an ode to the classic horror flick.

The work has been shown at Arti et Amicitiae in Amsterdam and at De Parade in Utrecht.
