↳ The drawings from the series ‘samplebook pages’ are based on reworked and remixed patterns and motifs from the cloth sample books of the Leidsche Katoen Maatschappij (De Helder & Co.) and Firma Haykens & Co. fromthe 19th/early 20th century (from the collection of Museum De Lakenhal, Leiden). Images of the old samplebook patterns are cut up, multiplied, reversed, rotated and edited to create a new composition. The small imperfections that arise as a result of the editing process become an integral part of the drawing.
