"Around textiles, knitting and embroidery, used here, there is a sensitive, even vulnerable, tactile atmosphere often in relation with the feminine. Everything together is mixed media, be swayed by household materials, close to the daily life. This work has a fragile look as well as a tender look, which by the firm anchoring in the 'substantial' as in the 'sober' and 'tragic' of existence, never weak or sentimental. On the contrary, this art has a particular poignant resonance. "(text: Daan Van Speybroeck) "
