Since 2018, different practices have developed in parallel; design, photography, teaching, and painting. As these activities mutually inform one another, they help expand the notion of having a creative practice that can take on different forms. In 2022 Formafantasma (Milan, IT) opened a second office in Rotterdam as a result of a long time collaboration. The satellite functions as an office with the aim to translate research-driven insights into more commerical projects. The office moved to Middelburg end of 2024. Painting started as a way to materialize memories and find a way to connect to and process visual material with a certain meaning. The medium asks for more time to connect to this imagery and the process is much slower. Teaching started in 2017 at the BA Design Academy Eindhoven, at a department formerly led by Ilse Crawford (StudioIlse) that later continued by Thomas Lommée (Open Structures). In 2022 teaching expanded to MA Geo-Design, led by Metahaven. This page shares a selection of works developed since 2015.
