Scratch book

In life drawing class there was a table, so worn out that nobody ever wanted to use it. Paper would not sit flat on the table. Every line you make would end up bumpy.
I brought colourful crayons and made a book frottage in memory of the table.

Self Portraits by Strangers

I had an assignment to make a self portrait and was tired of drawing myself. I made a book using tracing paper and asked people on the streets to draw me in a minute.

A letter, or two

My drawing teacher Annemieke lent me a precious letter for a drawing homework, written during WWII, from her grandfather to her father, sensored, sent from the Netherlands to Indonesia.

I loved the handwriting and wanted to copy it. I also wanted to learn Dutch. It turned into an exact copy of the whole letter. I was too afraid to copy the stamp. I returned both to Annemieke as a gift.

Signed Language

I found automotive design sketches slipped in a secondhand book bought in The Hague.
I redrew some of them and bound the sketches into the book at the end.
