Bio

In my work I created an alter ego called Dolly. This personality stands for a mixed child women 'dream' escaping from daily life. She appears in shows on stage together with Kenny juring a semi life concert. My personal life intertwines with the activities of the alterego. Fiction and realality form a thin line.

With the material that I gain from the act, captured on video and photo's, I work on in the studio. An extrovert and intovert activity. A realistic though fantastic and na�f world perception.
