Hi my name is Nia, and I like to play: with light, colours, sounds, the body, the senses, roles, rules, realities. I spent over a decade researching on the topic of play. Over the years, my initially scientifically-oriented interest transformed (back) into an intimate love-relationship with play. The creations birthed from that love are of various shapes: performances, poems, photographs, paintings... I came to understand that my job as an artist, mainly, is to be a vessel. It became a daily practice for me to make my body and all of my being a welcoming place for artistic expression.
