Recently, I have been looking a lot at my own past work , partly to redefine what I am doing now, and sometimes to revise and re-execute earlier works. I like to stay in touch with everything I have developed/done/made and see this as 1 body of work.

I made these larger-than-life commissioned sculptures around 2004.

'HISS FLUTTER SQUEAL', 18/19-06-2022 A solo presentation and overview of the works I developed in the past half year. The exhibition was on display at 2 locations. Thank you all for coming!!













The title is taken from a text fragment written by Pieter Dobbelsteen:'Romantic an boundless, sometimes dark but always full of zest, Wanders' abstract black and white works touch upon a fundamental exoerience -a living experience. One of stacking, hissing, fluttering, squealing. Rattling, swimming, drowning, burning. Cutting, chopping, blossoming, erasing, binding and bulging. Ultimately the meaning is in the making'

Mid december 2021 I started a series of large works that consisted only of white lines on a black surface. I was in a period where many things went wrong, and I needed slow, laborious and compelling work. I generally don't see my work as therapeutic, but certainly as part of my daily life and thus it reflects, consciously or unconsciously, where I am.
