"In the summer of 1998 I visited the Beguinage of Sint Elisabeth ... In the centre of the beguinage is a lawn with a huge tree giving shade in the heat of the day. I took a leaf from the tree--an Acer saccarinum witte esdoom (a sugar maple with thorns)--and pressed it in one of my books as a memento. On my return home I decided to use this leaf as the template for the 'catalogue' of the exhibition 'Without' which was held in the Sint Annazal Gallery in the Beguinage of Sint Elisabeth in 1999. I used a drawn outline of the leaf that was then laser cut out--leaving an absence, literally taking the leaves out of my book."--Artist's statement.
