Living in an age that is dominated by digital media, I am deliberatedly interested in working with my own hands. I use my hands to experience material. Also, my hands allow me to investigate phenomena that catch my interest on an emotional or intellectual level and transform them into something palpable.
My works develop gradually. Over weeks and months, I observe, experiment, until step by step, a unique piece is born: a drawing or a sculpture. However, the creative process does not end at this point. Individual elements may ask for fitting counter parts and form more complex installations. Just as they may bring up new questions, and by this: stimulate the creation of successive works.
Depicting something that seems barely visible due to its fleeting nature is a particular challenge for me, forcing me to constantly explore the limits of both: my own perception as well as my artistic skills. And yet, it is not the ephemeral character of an object or a phenomenon as such that I am interested in. On a deeper, underlying level, I am concerned with vulnerability and by this, an issue that also concerns us, as human beings: the unpredictable and fragile nature of existence.
