« In my artistic work I combine different types of expressions and materials. My approach is often site-specific and I would attribute it to the bricolage principle. Through my works, I explore themes such as pataphysics, the culture of memory and the aesthetical questioning of the composition of things, including their forms, shapes and colors - which is also reflected in my paintings.
My installations works are created by selecting and combining collected objects taken from everyday life, handmade objects, drawings and paintings. Through accumulation, subtraction, but above all sacralization of the supposedly familiar, the eye is sharpened for the extraordinary that is hidden in it: Like a bow to the remnants of our everyday life, seeing the world as all-encompassing.

Together with the artist Valerie von Könemann I founded the art collective SUPINICE. SUPINICE is a social sculpture. The boundaries between art and every day life become blurred as familiar phenomena are imitated and transformed. Infused with a sense of humor, anything is turned into something else. »
