My aim is to research the visual part and the theoretical part of feelings in the world inside of different living environments and the world outside in public environment. To research emotions I like to start with people in the environment around me.
On of the aspects of my project is about my family. My family name is Lewis and comes from my grandfather from fathers side who lived in India. When he was a child he was adopted by a British family. My grandfather was convinced that he was purely British, although his ethnic background is Indian and his parents had Indian blood. My fathers brother, my uncle lives in London with his three sons and his English wife.
How is the environment of my cousins compared to my own environment?
How does their perception of consciousness relate to their ethnic background?
Another aspect of my project I find in comparing two families. Three dutch brothers who have exactly the same age as my cousins; 26,28,30. They come from a typical Dutch family and have only dutch blood. I could compare these two different families, their different characters, their daily behaviour and their appearence.

Marchpane Broek 3
This was the third book I made of three of the students I lived with in Norwich. As the time passes it gets more difficult to keep in touch. This is third house Angus and Stuart are living in. Rebecca lives a bit further away but I tried to contact her and photograph her again. The daily live of these art students interest me. I tried to capture them in their private live and during moments they spend in the public space.
What kind of moments are they? Out of the photographs I selected a few to screenprint in another book. I made this book in an edition of 22.
All my visual photographic documentation is combined with collages of everyday found objects by me. Since I have moved to London I’m gathering notes and mapes people use to go somewhere with me or to explain something to me. On all the notes and tickets and receipts I drop theabags and somethimes coffee. This is not done on purpose, whenever I use a theabag to drink thea in my room I drop it on my notes. By doing this the notes will contain something of my daily life. They will live with me and the stains on them symbolise the time that passes.
The notes can be combined with the photographic part of my project. Another working method will be to print the photos on the maps including the stains.
