What does it mean to write? How does language influence our experience of the world? And how does the world influence our language? What cannot be captured with words? And what is the potency of the empty spaces between the lines? The word lines keep you in time consists of two essay collections that meet each other in the middle. The Lines is a collection of four essays reflective of the nature of writing, with a focus on its coupling to matter, tools, and surfaces. Between the Lines consists of two essays about the formation of meaning, the unsayable, holes, intervals, love, and poetry.

Overall, The word lines keep you in time is a personal and playful approach to rhetorical and associative thinking, doubting, interpreting, exploring, wondering and, of course, writing. Originally written as a BFA thesis. Also published in TXT: Nine Days.

about

I am a textile artist, researcher, and writer based in Amsterdam. Through my work runs a tangible thread that is spun from questions about materials, hierarchies, traditions, patterns, shapes, and their relations. By means of artistic research, I aim to unravel them and investigate their potential to be interlaced in new ways.
