From project Please Like Me 2018
Being confronted with the phenomenon of getting approval on one’s work, via social media, or on whatever one does on the internet, in the form of likes. I see this has an enormous impact on people’s behavior: Being liked, in any way, is the best.
Forgetting that it’s almost always by peoples you don’t know, even never heard of.

#Tag Portraits – 2018.
A series of 13 works on paper
My visual comment on photo’s, taken by another artist, of all kind of victims. Deciding to make these portraits anonymous. Looking now from a whole different perspective, one can also reverse the roles, ‘who is the victim and who is the perpetrator’.
A psychological game almost, intriguing.
This anonymity made me decide to transform these images back to who they might have been by concentrating on what I can detect and give them back a face.

#Tag Portraits – Transition 2018.
My visual comment on anonymous photo’s of victims and perpetrators and the knowledge that anybody can be in the reverse role.
I try to transform these images by concentrating on what I can detect and give them back a face.

2015 – 2016 Project Murmurs & Babbles | A follow up
In this new Project I want to get into the subject of modern or contemporary art, what are the elements that make art contemporary art?
And what does this mean?
A recurring designation in the History of Art, and what is its value?
Van Gogh was known as modern or in our terms contemporary because he broke with traditions, but today any artist anywhere brakes or tries to, with traditions.
Has modern or contemporary become a meaning in itself?
Reference to this subject: Rem Koolhaas on modernism.
A follow up on my investigation into Renaissance art and contemporary artists who reflect(ed) on them. View all the works at

> Art reflects its time, a primary source of information.
Project Every Day A Drawing. These works are based on the Renaissance period. They refer to a historical concept and the contemporary world we live in. Somehow they reflect an atmosphere of apocalypse and hope.
Whether religious, sexual or political, they are part of the timeframe then and the timeframe now.
With these works I want to connect Renaissance art with Contemporary art.
Riedstra has studied applied arts in Tel Aviv and The Hague, as well as M.A. Scenography at St Martins London, and completed her masters in Seville, Spain. She lives in the Netherlands

To be named refugees as part of anonymous numerous groups that are wandering around in Europe and elsewhere around the world is one thing.
To be able to give these people a face is another.
This as an artist is my small contribution.
