Wow, what a year. I was able to create a lot of work and show it in beautiful places. Throughout the year, I focused on the series of origami animals, occasionally combining them with a matching postcard.

This year was all about animals: rooks on a postcard and squirrels, a dog and hares made from origami, among other things. Especially hares. The hare is my favourite. The hare is a common motif in art, and I understand why. For me, its appeal lies mainly in its ears. Of all the origami animals I have folded so far, the hare is also the most photogenic.

Around the turn of the year, I moved into a new studio in the Biotoop in Haren. After eight years of working in a pleasant but not overly spacious room, I was able to move to a large studio. With the new studio came a new subject: origami animal figures.
