collaborating with or incorporating work by:

Jacqueline Wassen (The Netherlands), Alexis Hunter (U.K.), Ben Koen (U.S.A.), Bob Schwarz (U.S.A.), Christophe Doucet (France), Joe Feilder, (U.S.A.), Joseph Houseal (U.S.A.), Kath Tait, (U.K.), Liz Coats(New Zealand),

In various scenarios the snail is a metaphor for nature, the self, the soul, the traveller, the flaneur, the feminine, the humane.

The CDrom, "Dans le jardin des beaux arts" is an adventure you can encounter in varying levels and layers. It incorporates interactive elements, some the work of the artists in this project, video clips from the project at the Sarjeant Gallery in New Zealand and elements from the exhibitions and performances in Leiden, den Bosch, and Taller (France).
