She made ceramic based works, albeit with a conceptual and destructive approach, and was a prolific publisher of artists’ books through her imprint Void Editions. Huisman published her own artists’ books and works by others such as Ulises Carrion (Second Thoughts), Henryk Gajewski, John Liggins. In the 1970s she was one of the founders of the In-Out Center artists’ space in Amsterdam. She curated exhibitions in her studio as well as at her temporary gallery in Curaçao where she also launched Cabaron Press.
