Linocut printed with oil-based ink on mulberry paper
This linocut shows a woman performing an acrobatic movement on a bicycle, carried forward by motion and balance.
The work is inspired by Amsterdam, where cycling is not only transport but a way of life—continuous movement through space, time, and connection. The figure reflects both strength and playfulness, as well as the freedom found in motion itself.
A moment of urban poetry: where body, bike, and city move as one.
mulberry paper
Mulberry paper is made from the inner bark of the mulberry tree. The bark can be harvested without cutting the tree down, as it grows back over time, which makes it a sustainable material.
I love to work with this paper because it has a natural, soft feel and a slightly irregular texture. to me it looks a bit like silk — a comparison that makes sense when you think about how silkworms feed on the leaves of the mulberry tree.
For me, it’s a simple, honest material that fits well with the way I work.
Because this paper is handmade, each sheet is unique. The dimensions may vary slightly, and small differences in the edges or surface are part of the character of the paper.
Every sheet passes through the hands of its maker. During the papermaking process, some pulp may extend slightly beyond the mould or remain just within its edges, creating the beautiful, irregular deckled edges that make handmade paper so special.
I deliberately never frame my handmade paper with a mat or passe-partout that hides these edges. To me, they are an essential part of the artwork. They add texture, character and a sense of authenticity — a visible reminder that the paper was made by hand.
This is precisely why I choose handmade paper: to preserve the human touch and allow the traces of the making process to remain visible.
