About

Transformation and the influence on its surrounding is an important element in my work. In my view not only metamorphosis of a material, but also transformation within an image reflect an endless life-force. By exploring this endless life-force, I try to grasp processes of formation and degradation and the stages of change. By observing carefully, the work comes to life and observation transforms into imagination.

In my installations processes like corrosion and crystallization, that are often set in motion by mechanical movement, need some time to set and grow into their surroundings. By turning, sliding, pulling, dipping, dripping, growing and eroding materials find their way and eventually leave their own signature that keeps on surprising me.
