​His site-specific interventions reflect the architectural structure and its distribution of the incoming daylight. The interventions alter these aspects. These sculptural works originate in bodily experience. Here a paradox is at work. Central to these disruptive structures is the search for stillness. The sculptures create new pathways for the daylight and its infinitesimal reflections: the sacral quality of light.

The search for stillness is also a returning feature in Kruysen's separate, small-scale sculptures. There is a personal element to this quest. The rise and fall of modernism echoes in Kruysen’s work. His search for balance is, at the core, a negotiation between constructive and destructive forces. In his art this results in moments of clarity and stillness: ephemeral allure.
