residencies/prizes
statement,publications,collections,exhibitions

​.short main statement:

 

I create place related installation art. A piece shown more than once is the exception.

To my prior subject „the exorbitant seach for the norm“ (/the discrepancy between guess and fact) apects of sustainability in creating art were added. Those show in the selected materials, in the life span of the pieces as well as in collaborative working processes.

I exhibit in local, national and international contexts.
