Heâ€™s a founding member of the (international) artist collectives DAstrugistenDA and artiestencollectief JA!. His work puts the emphasis on playing with the sounds which become a language, on deconstructing language to itâ€™s basic sounds. Sounds and images are also (and even more so than language a convention) universal forms of communication. Stretching conventions, bend them and breaking them so different word meanings and word forms become the centre of his poetry in relation to current affairs.
