Can one song be the starting point for a series of artworks?

This project was initiated by drawings I made while listening to the dramatic song Bloed, Zweet en Tranen by famous Dutch folksinger André Hazes. As I continued to work with the subject matter of these drawings, I became fascinated with roots, rhizomes, turmeric, threads, lines, and knots. All the while, what I hadn’t realised was that my intuitive research had been unfolding exactly the way rhizomes grow; not in one straight line, but in many different directions.
