Homo metropolitanus From childhood on I feel like a ‘Homo metropolitanus’.You are where you live. And for me that’s the city. As long as I can remember I have found my way in the big cities. The metropolis is my habitat. I always feel at home in big cities with a river and/or a harbour. With architectural icons, like cathedrals, museums, old and new, with their speci!c cultural atmosphere, colours, people. In the Netherlands I found this habitat in Amsterdam. Outside the Netherlands I found the same sense of connectivity with cities like Rome, Paris, London, New York, Barcelona, Berlin, Moscow, Cape Town. Work,words,water The greatest part of my working life I have operated as an highly independent individual professional, operating in networks, hardly ever part of an organisation. Private life and business were mixed all the time, until I married and we got our son seven years ago. Family and private life, Joshua’s school, were in this period more important.This intermezzo created space for exploring something different:working with clay. In my professional life words are my core business. In this sense my identi!cation with Dutch language has been some sort of a discomfort for me. My mother tongue kept me in Amsterdam. Nowadays it would have been much easier to live in a different place, with the help of worldwide communications.Water is an important theme in my work as well is the culture of Holland.

The Potter’s Dozen & The Medium is the Message | Research
Holland Water Land 1000- 2100 Because the subject of my presentation for H&C is Delftware in the 17th Century, I decided to introduce myself into the world of surface and decorating techniques that go back to the glorious days of Dutch porcelain or Delftware: tin glaze, majolica, transfers, messages on plates.
I also decided to combine The Potter’s Dozen and The Medium is the Message into one narrative: the narrative of Holland Water Land 1000 - 2100.
Experiments with majolica on tin glaze
Experiments with different clay bodies Tin glaze on black clay bodies
The Potter’s Dozen & The Medium is the Message | Development
Narratives with shape and decoration Narratives with text and illustration Tulips on tiles
‘Het hoofd boven water houden’ = ‘Keep one’s head above water’ Bottles with a long neck, transfer on tin glaze
‘Geen zee gaat ons te hoog’ = ‘He is game for anything’ Porcelain ‘waves’ with tin glaze and majolica
Four Plates with text and illustration, representing four periods in the history of Holland Water Land
Holland 2100: ‘Na ons de zondvloed’ = ‘After us the deluge’. Holland #ooded by the sea because of climate change.

Mind the Gap 1
Reintroduce the Piggy Bank as a much saver way to save money than the Bank
Does Ceramics have a Future?
‘We can already observe that interesting ideas in the art colleges are not maturing into professional product due to a shortage of technical know-how and skills. How cn we ensure that knowledge about casting, constructing, f
i
ring, compiling the glazes can be retained; can we be able to evolve?’ (Ank Trumpie)
A Second Life for Ceramic Wall Pieces
In Holland they are breaking down buildings from the f
i
fties. This is a period when ceramic wall pieces were en vogue.
Now the question is: what to do with these wall pieces? De-str oy them? Or give them a second life?
Revival of the Piggy Bank
In a world where the people have lost there trust in banks, there is momentum to bring to life the old tradition of the Piggy Bank. A book about the history of the Piggy Bank can introduce a gene-ration brough t up with virtual mone y into the use of the Piggy Bank.
The Zen of Clay
In Buddhism one has to expe-rience complete darkness in order to become enlightened . In western society we don’t have complete darkness anymore. A clay body that completely covers one’s body can crea te the expe-rience of darkness.
Keep your head cool. Handy when climate change makes sum-mers really hot. It can be made to f
i
t. It can get a personal touch with decoration on demand. It can express a group identity.
Develop a marketing concept that enables to preserve technical know-how and skills at European level. My presupposition is that the European level is the only ef f ic
ie
nt scale to maintain expertise and facilities.
