APPROACHABLE ART
Campo & Campo, Antwerp (BE) · 10 September – 3 October 2026
Here I showed the sculptures MOE and THE BLACK SHEEP (BB (Bunny Behavior)), STRAIN (Cognition and Recognition) and the paintings ROADKILL and VOMITINA (Is It My Story to Tell?).
My work is about how art comes alive: forms that are clearly not alive, yet close enough to life that we respond to them as if they were. At Campo & Campo, each work takes something familiar out of its usual place: a cow, a sheep, a liver, a half-told story. Each one calls up a memory, of the village, of a body, of a childhood home, and the viewer fills in the rest of the story from what they already carry.
