In my practice there are no fixed rules or restrictions. I highly value authenticity so I adapt to each situation I am confronted with.
I feel that I restrain my creativity while following a calculated plan, while there is a broad idea the final outcome shapes itself during the working process.
Curiosity and intuition guide me to explore new media and techniques with a playful approach on material research.
Due to my strong affection to sculpture and analogue photography but also an open mind for new challenges I constantly discover new fields of interest.
Many of my previous works show a focus on natural processes and structures juxtaposed with industrial elements. But also the dubiousness of mankind finds its way back into my practice through absurdity and humor.
I like to unite my products in interdisciplinary installations, where being in control and creating a setting for the occurrence of chance both affect the artwork.
