Current Obsession Magazine

A new logo for the project Current Obsession.
The project, originally started by jewelry designer Marina Elenskaya and now joined by Sarah Mesritz, is now becoming a printed magazine. The first issue is released in March 2013.

Design made in collaboration with Linda Beumer.

Pattern

Using 4 black and white patterns, which all can be considered classics, as a starting point I set out to design new patterns.
The rules were simple: only use the excising pattern, don’t add anything else!

The project is still in progress, working from the idea of design-recycling.

Pattern – Object – Space

A study into the relation of pattern, object and space and how they effect each other.

A Wedge Between Private and Public

Symposium program for the two-day symposium A wedge between private and public organised by SKOR, Stichting Kunst en Openbare Ruimte, and LAPS(Lectoraat Art & Public Space Gerrit Rietveld Academie) at Trouw in Amsterdam April 2010.

The symposium created a clear connection between the theory of interactive art — often considered from the discourse of new media — and the practical aspects involved in commissions in public space. The two days were a follow-up to Research into the functioning of interactive art in semi-public space also organized by the LAPS and commissioned by SKOR.

Collaboration with Linda Beumer.

Het Sieraad jewelry department

Logo for Het Sieraad jewelry department.
The cutting pattern on top of letter type is a references to the cuts of precious stones, but also refers to the craft that is present within jewelry design and the openness that excises within the jewelry department, where the concept is as important as the form.

All the material that is produced within the department, and where the logo is used, is numbered and in that way an archive is automatically created.

Encounter Beyond a Dream

End exam catalogue for the Gerrit Rietveld Academie’s jewelry design students. The exhibition was built up of square boxes which is why the catalogue also make us of the square in the design. The catalogue has a structure where there is no absolute beginning or end, but the viewer can fold it, letting it begin and end, how ever they
want to.

1-2-3 Jewel, catalogue Het Sieraad

Catalogue for the end exam of the jewelry department Het Sieraad at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie 2011.

The catalogue introduces the reader to the work of the students in 3 steps. First through an excerpt of the students’ thesis, then through their research and finally through images of their final work(s). The later phases are visible in the background so in that way gives a hint and a broader understanding of the students’ works as well as of the department as a whole.

From the Paper

With the use of a copy machine and a blank piece of paper some of the most characteristic buildings build in the 1940′s and the 1950′s where rebuild. The Guggenheim Museum by Frank Lloyd Wright, Farnsworth House by Mies van deer Rohe and Notre Dame du Haut by Le Corbusier.

Skype chain

From the want to create a dialogue the idea to start and design a Skype chain was born. Using parts of the previous dialogue we connected and constructed the next dialogue.
Each dialogue was presented as a track on a the final CD. A poster was designed for the CD-cover, using material on the topic of echo, imitation etc.

The project was realised in collaboration with Elisabeth Klement and Sara Kaaman.

XXX Jewels

Cover design for the publication XXX Jewels, made by 2nd and 3rd year students of the jewelry department of Gerrit Rietveld Academie. The catalogue was part of the UnCut exhibition 2010 at de Brakke Grond.

Edit N8 – Stadsarchief

Exhibition display part of the Edit exhibition at the central station, Amsterdam.
The central station of Amsterdam has been under reconstruction for years and together with the the city the organizers of n8/Museum Nacht, a yearly event where the museums are open long into the night, decided to use the big fences, separating the building area from the public, to show off the different museums of the city.

Amsterdam is a city with strong historical presence. The architecture of the city are in many parts the same as it’s been for centuries. Other parts have gone through major changes. The Stadsarchief/City Archive carries a vast amount of historical material, amongst others photographs, in their archives. By using a photograph from Amsterdam’s past and revisiting the same part of the city today, superimposing the images on top of each other, the change, or lack of change through the ages becomes clear. One layer of time – one colour.
