the importance of the notebook
Notes Writing about the importance of carrying a notebook with you, as the creative process can never be predicted or planned. And about how documentation enables us to unravel the “red thread” in our work. July 2022
creating creates independence
Notes Reading the books My Dark Vanessa and The Body Lies. In both books women are taking back control after being controlled. Thinking about how creating and shaping the world (by writing, making or imagining), gives you the power to take control. July 2022

Note Unlike influencers and designers try to show a creative process, it can never be clean, slick and perfect. We need noise and friction to create. June 2022
corona 2.0
NotesI got corona for the second time. Or actually, corona got me, pretty hard. June 2022
time + space
Notes Thinking about how we create, fill and are time and space. After asking permission to work part-time, I immediately felt more time and space. But I also experienced that if we don’t decide how to fill our time and space (or decide to keep it empty), it gets decided for you. July 2022
media wise(r)
Notes Doing research to the possibilities and dangers of the virtual world. Digital and social media are more and more portrayed as merely negative: they’re commercial, energy consuming and superficial. The question is: can they still be or become a places for experiment and expression? May 2022
not to do
Notes Thinking about how to create space. For example, by creating a Not To Do list for every To Do list you make, or by creating a piece of emptiness in the digital and analog world. April 2022
making is building a bridge
Note I went to the Maker Faire Gent and came back with a lot of inspiration and insights. April 2022
ego
Notes “It’s fine, to be no-one sometime.” Writing and thinking about how our ego is fragile and scattered by its focus on others. While it can be satisfying to be no one for a moment. April 2022
