(*1995)
(artist statement)
"In my work I’m interested in urban spaces. I deal with contemporary aspects of vandalism and analyze how human traces change the urban landscape. Through that I relate to post-vandalism. I am interested in where and how traces are left, how these traces are dealt with, which ones remain and how the rest are removed. I also draw inspiration from unintentional compositions created by construction sites and road signage. I try to extract their artistic values, for example by using found objects as source material.
Based on this conceptual framework I develop various bodies of work that oscillate between sculpture, painting and environment. In this process, the painterly eye for composition and color and the specific choice of material play an important role. Most of my works can be perceived as installations or objects in a certain spatial realm.
This symbiosis creates assemblages that function as painterly interventions and at the same time as contemporary witnesses of an abstract urban space."
