Diede van Ommen makes personal comics, usually inspired by mental stress. She feels the need to draw – drawings depict her thought process which often includes some kind of shameful self-reflection that is meme-like and relatable.
She combines these personal struggles with an overseeing eye to the mechanics of power in late modernity (for which she laid the foundation in her studies in social sciences). She works with scrap paper to create panels and love creative/alternative publishing – playing with shapes, folds, etc.
