Elisabeth is an architect, her freelance artwork started with a playful series of investigations, as an archivist of space and place. It became clear that she could convey her measurements more accurately in language than in numbers. So she started writing. She wrote about House Islands; she made tide tables in the Harbor of Zeebrugge. In the years that followed, the short stories became even shorter, until they were a few notes of our présence in the large spatial complex. And since the lockdown, more images have appeared, in support of, what she now calls, 'poetic measurements'.

Elisabeth received 'the Goldpen Prize' at the book fair in Antwerp/Belgium, won the travel story competition in newspaper De Standaard, and the short story competition on the Belgium VRT/Canvas television. De Nieuwe Garde (Amsterdam/Netherlands) supported her work with a mentorship. There were publications on Hardhoofd, in Gierik, a lecture for the Flemish Canon. Karaat Publishers (Amsterdam/Netherlands) provided her 'Building Site Reports' with an ISBN number, 3:am magazine (London) published her work as 'poem brut'. She recently had exhibitions in Artmut Gallery in Mechelen (Belgium), in Rudolfstadt and Berlin (Germany) with a group of calulation-artists from Colorado-USA. There was an exhibition in Bonheiden (Belgium) with Romina Cristi-Olate, artist-architect based in Santiago de Chile about worldwide rooms, visited them online during Covid in Toronto, Yokohama, Bournemouth. Even in a homeless person's backpack house. Her fascination with places continues to develop every day.
