My research to explore combinations of materials with light, led me to ask the question what would happen when you combine many kilometers of rope with tailor made projections. It resulted in the audiovisual installation Op touw.

At the intersection of the tangible and the intangible, a new interplay of patterns emerges. Rope and light are sometimes parallel, sometimes perpendicular. It's like weaving with light, warp and woof.
