Mijn liefde is een booreiland dat met trots het gehele ecosysteem vernielt
My book ‘Mijn liefde is een booreiland dat met trots het gehele ecosysteem vernielt’ presents a collection of writings that have accompanied and concluded my overall artistic practice within the past year. My writings can be characterized through their poetic elements that have a confrontational yet common narrative to them. Texts that are seemingly threatening to your daily routine, as if they are attacking the reader with a moment they had no engagement in but, are now forced to experience. I wish to make the viewer feel ill with familiarities
With my texts I occupy (the literal space). I aim for my texts to be as accessible as they can be to my audience through poster pasting at night, fast spreading of stickers or short publications and letter exchanges. All should be encountered (unwillingly).

The river runs dry
Bijna 4 jaar geleden ontstond er een unieke samenwerking tussen Peter Boersma, grafisch ontwerper en kunstenaar, en Eli Dijkers. In deze samenwerking reageert Peter met op maat gemaakte ontwerpen op beelden uit Eli’s portfolio. Deze creaties zijn exclusief voor de abonnees en zijn nergens anders verkrijgbaar. Elk kwartaal wordt er een verrassing naar de brievenbus van mensen gestuurd, variërend van handgemaakte boeken tot gesigneerde kunstwerken en andere verzamelobjecten. Dit boek is de 14e editie van het project.

when the real world becomes a fable
‘when the real world becomes a fable‘ arose from an exploration of the process of erosion: with a focus on both caves and waterfalls. The images sprang from a fascination with the idea that something as tender, soft, nurturing and fluid as water is able to degrade and (re)shape something as solid and massive as stone formations.

potato book
The potato book was made during a residency period at Wongema during October 2024, in preparation for the aardappelfeest. It counts with a number of contributions from all over the world, where people shared their memories, stories, and recipes, in relation to the potato. The process (never ending) showed me how humble and important the potato has been throughout my whole life, marking the different places where I lived, the friendships I developed, and the different ways we show care by preparing and sharing one same vegetable.

Numbers
This is a 'paper-by-numbers' (inspired by paint-by-numbers) book with templates to create handmade paper with mountain landscapes by painting with paper pulp.
The photographs, line drawings and 'paper-by-numbers' drawings are printed on Khadi handmade cotton paper. I traced the 'paper-by-numbers' drawings onto mesh, which can be attached to a deckle so the template can be used for forming a handmade paper sheet. In total, the book contains templates for paper pulp painting 5 different mountain landscapes, like was done on the front cover.

Killer candy
This book expresses the love-hate relationship people can have with candy. A lot of people enjoy eating sugary treats, but it is very much not good for anyone, and in the case of diabetics, it could actually even kill them.
I melted Haribo cherries, and filled the heart halves with it. I also created 'pages' from the melted, cherries by pouring them into sheets and cutting them into the heart shape. The book was sewn together with a slipknot binding with transparent nylon thread and placed in a box for safe keeping.
This was a collaboration @hamsterwoede who helped me flesh out my idea, figure out how to successfully melt and spread out the candy, and 3d printed an anatomical heart for me (design by Cicerone on Thingiverse).

Legacy
I made this book to hold seeds from and for my 'paper garden', which is a garden where I grow plants to make handmade paper from. I wanted to make something to store the seeds of the indigenous plants that I am growing now and want to grow in the future in my paper garden.
By planting and preserving indigenous plants, I am not only creating my own material to create new books from, but I am also trying to contribute to the biodiversity of my local ecosystem.
The covers and spine are covered in handmade paper from my paper garden. The covers are made from sweet peas, and the spine is made from nasturtium.
@roeks_rariteitenkabinet graciously allowed me to use the area around her atelier to start this paper garden, and she was also the one who inspired me to start thinking about planting indigenous plants.

Eerste Portret van Willem G.
In het voorjaar van 2024 overleed mijn vader. Hij leed hij aan dementie. Ik heb mijn vader niet goed gekend. Ik heb hem in zijn laatste jaren intensiever en vaker meegemaakt dan ooit daarvoor. Ik leerde hem beter kennen terwijl hij zichzelf steeds minder begon te kennen. Dit boek is mijn logboek van de periode na zijn overlijden. Ik heb mijn rouwen geankerd aan het maken van tweeluiken op spreads in Het Grote Rijstkookboek. Mijn vader wenste zijn tijd nuttig te besteden. Mijn vader had altijd een gezonde eetlust. Hij luste alles. Hij held enorm van snoep, ook midden in de nacht. En had ooit een prachtig handschrift. Zeer geordende administratie ook. Zanger maar geen danser. Propellerpoetser bij de BZBM & Sectiehoofd bij de BB.
Zoals allemaal (en meer) staat opgetekend in mijn boek. Ook mijn vader heeft een boek als vertaler op zijn naam staan.

We gathered all the artworks we made in the years 2021-2024 in this book. We both work totally different. Emily works more intuitively, Chris more systematically. This causes the collection of artworks to be very diverse. Besides a few photo's of every piece, we give here and there a description, background information or an insight in our process. We wish you lots of fun browsing through this book. Best, Chris and Emily

DEMONSTERate
There is a legend about a beast that feeds on small children lost in the forest. For generations the villagers have retold the story of how they defeated the beast. So far this is a regular fairy tale story. But this fairy tale is a story about prejudice. Entering the castle into which the beast has been banished, we see that “the monster” is simply going through its regular routine, trying to survive by feeding on the flame fruit in the forest.
Books are windows to new perspectives. Readers are invited to understand both sides of the story.

Look at my selfie
When I showed Rozi I was making this book, she said:
‘Why do I have graffiti on my face? Mom you can’t do that!’
The reason I made this book, is that I can finally delete all
these hundreds of Rozi’s selfie photo’s on my phone and
create more space.
Look at her quest. One year of selfies. The exploration of her own face. All the different expressions. Get to know my daughter through her selfies. The year 2023, age four.

Willy Looyen
OOG SPIEGEL GEZICHT
In OOG SPIEGEL GEZICHT onderzoekt Willy Looyen de symboliek van ogen, gezichten en spiegels. De persoonlijke tekst "A Compilation of Thoughts, Notes, Associations and Memories" verkent thema’s als zien en gezien worden, met verwijzingen naar Bosch’ "Het veld heeft ogen", Lacans spiegeltheorie en het alziend oog in Benthams panopticum.
Looyens kunst is rijk aan persoonlijke en maatschappelijke reflecties. Een huidziekte veranderde de relatie met haar spiegelbeeld en leidde tot werken over schoonheid en vervreemding. Tegelijkertijd belicht ze hoe gezichtsherkenning en biometrische controle onze identiteit beïnvloeden. Door gezichten te bewerken, verhullen en transformeren, ontstaat een spanningsveld tussen zichtbaarheid en anonimiteit. Het boek onderzoekt de balans tussen onthulling en camouflage, tussen technologie en sociale identiteit. OOG SPIEGEL GEZICHT nodigt de kijker uit om na te denken over wat het betekent om te kijken, gezien te worden en jezelf te zien.

A CAUTIONARY TALE FOR THE REVOLUTIONARY & A LOVE LETTER TO MY 6-FEET-UNDER FRIENDS
A CAUTIONARY TALE FOR THE REVOLUTIONARY & A LOVE LETTER TO MY 6-FEET-UNDER FRIENDS is about collective, political, and personal grief. It explores feelings of rage, loss, and defiant love. The book leverages on the act of memorialising, especially in terms of how to deal with death and heartache when some people are not allowed dignity or rest in their departure after facing dehumanisation in their lifetime. By doing so the publication turns into a memorial itself, highlighting the importance of holding memory and grief as an insurrectionist practice, speaking broadly to the collective through painfully private feelings.

In the Dream
With this artwork I tried to visualise a dream I had about my brother. I wanted to convey a feeling of the dream, a vauge discomfort and fear lingering in my body while I stood in my grandma's apartment, my safest place. In the dream I expected him to approach me, to calm me down but the whole time he was standing on the balcony, watching me. We were surrounded by people I've never seen, their faces blurry and disorted and his the only one I see clearly. The dream was quite short, neither of us tried to reach the other and I wonder if he was expecting me to approach him. Nevertheless, the dream contained strong emotions which I tried to express in this book, illustrating the scene with vauge details and writting a poem more focused on the feelings rather then explanations.

Your miserabke city will never be my Home
This book is about struggling to adapt to life in a new country. The idea of the book is that it gradually destroys itself since the pages stick together and every time it is opened the paint sticks to the opposite page. The pictures of people slowly become unrecognizible which symbolizes a fear of making long lasting relathionships while studying abroad.

Don’t forget to feed the dogs
I have started writing for this book since October, after starting assisting at Odensehuis. Despite the fact that I don’t speak Dutch, I really enjoyed my time there and I manage to write poems in Dutch with the people there and also write poetry in what I could understand from it. My grandfather having an advanced stage of dementia, it came as a struggle at first to be in this environment, reminding me of the time I lost and the person I never got to know. In the end I think it made be relate to him more, from being in an environment where I would feel detached and not understanding much, to translating that into tiny words that may not make sense, but still manage to create the atmosphere that I feel present with this experience.

Conception & zonder titel
In de werken ‘Conception’ en 'zonder titel' zoom ik in op de details van stukjes kleding, afkomstig van mijn ouders. Ik onderzoek de patronen, maar ook de slijtage en de vlekken. Alles om maar tot de kern door te dringen. Zo zoek ik ook naar de kern van de kleuren van het textiele boek, dat is gemaakt van de achterkant van een schilderij. ‘Conception’ vormde de start van mijn huidige werkproces, waarbij ik in grote textiele installaties onderzoek doe naar de relatie tussen leven en dood en tussen mijn ouders en mij.

My book with stuff in it
"My Book with Stuff in It" is a photo book that explores the artist's experiences and emotions about the past, present, and future.

can i be present without being present? - remnants
Notebook notes created during the performance "can i be present without being present?" held at two events in 2023.
An active tablet/laptop and my personal visual cv on paper wandered through space as a durational interactive performance. I was online present via the laptop. We, the cv and me, are literally in the hands of the visitors. I can hear and understand the visitors. They cannot hear me. Instead they can read my answers and my questions. All what is left are the handwritten colourful notebook papers now preserved in beeswax.
