The portrait is a common thread throughout my work, which takes two paths: drawings and video work. My drawings can be considered as composites that shape an (investigation into) identity by combining self-portraits, the self as an imitation of pop culture and pop culture elements and influences. My video work consists of collages of video material comprised of film scenes from Alfred Hitchcock’s oeuvre and tries to initiate a dialogue about gender, patriarchy and stereotypes.
