About

I live in the Uckermark Lakes Nature Park, about 80 kilometers north of Berlin. This region offers one of the most charming and sparsely populated landscapes in northeastern Brandenburg. Typical of this landscape are its many lakes, senior citizens, forests, and unobstructed views.

On my daily walks, I photograph people, landscapes, structures, or textures - they form the basis for my works of art.

 

I am fascinated by liminal spaces.

My focus is on observing and documenting processes in nature, such as transience and transformation, or loss and transition. In this context, I examine my immediate surroundings and observe the liminal spaces there.

In a liminal space, boundaries are fluid. There is no either/or.

My attention is directed toward this diffuse yet concrete space without a precise beginning or end point. I explore this in-between space, characterized by change and transformation.

 

My preferred field of expression is textile collage, often combined with an aleatoric printing process, for which I create a printing ink made from algae, which leaves room for random and unintended effects. At the beginning of my creative process, I don't know what will emerge or where it will lead me. I move in this space between the diffuse and the concrete. Nothing is fixed. The image asserts itself as I work with it/develop it—I then temporarily find myself in a liminal space.

My works are both an observatory and a documentation; they do not offer answers – they are questions.
