Hi! I'm Rene and I'm an artist living between Gateshead and Amsterdam. My practice is responding to its environment, constantly in a state of flux or in-between. I mostly use drawing, the integration of video & live performance, poetry and sculpture. I like to use the intuitive nature of materials to explore the body as an archive of history and memory, softness and internal feeling. I'm also interested in moments of subversion, disruption, tenderness and glitch. 🌱
