Insect with 4 wings ,6 legs based on an ordinary mosquito made of zipper parts and metalwork fixed on a solid larch wood panel  .
 The zipper parts are collected at the luggage basement of Schiphol airport where they got stuck between conveyor belts and in aircraft holds . 
With picking them up from the floor and convert them into a sculpture I saved them from the waste bin . The wood panel is  a left over from a fellow furniture maker and also saved from the waste bin . 
Art made of refuse , waste and found materials .This new way of looking at the world and its supplies must be a wake-up call .Recycle ,recycle up to the very last bit .

Self-taught artist . After study and a few years roaming the planet I settled in an Amsterdam squadhouse early eihgties .Even back then it was an exiting and living town . Playing in bands and working as (light & sound) technician for theatre- and dancegroups got me in touch with , and generated my interest in Arts . It didn't take long before I started making art myself .At first drawings and paintings , and eventually also 3-dimensional objects and installations .
