I can do this!

A sentence I learned over the years. Something I tried to practice every day.

Now I try to celebrate our DEPENDENCY every day.

We can do this!

I don’t want a brain-centered world, health is something to strive for, and I think we van reach that with our common sense.

Name

Call me Every, the translated version of my Flamish/Dutch name. I like to adjust myself to my environment, being dependent of my environment. If we would all be more dependent on each other and our environment, we would care more about every one of us and our natural and non-natural habitat.

Playing

This is why I create eating-installations to (re)connect people through atipical actions provoked by the installation itself. To create, I only use restmaterials from the environment where the installation is in. While enjoying the boarders between a restaurant, playground and exhibition. I made an open space on a green piece of land with all these installations. Come and have a visit in this connecting space. Come and play.

Living

Every small space can be a house. A thought that plumps up in my head all the time, I want to challenge myself to draw at least one every day. Because I feel housing/living is pretty easy if you don't follow the rules. Non-institutional thinkingThe school is not a school. The moto of a non-profit organization called The School. The School does social and urband researches through experiment and direct actions. I joined in 2020, when they had a contract with a owner of a big building, they turned it into an atelier space for 100 artists. I had the chance to help organising, playing, giving workshops,.. and also started a Tiny house community in their backyard. We now live on a green piece land with 10 Tiny houses and shared spaces. We have a big vegetable garden with couple of animals living freely on the field as part of an ecosystem, as we are too.

I would love not to use this platform to much (I'm sorry) I trew my laptop away after studying.Thank you for understanding.Happy meeting you!
