ARTIST STATEMENT

"I relish in my work a playful approach to seemingly rigid information, ways of thinking and definitions. It is pleasant by the shift in perspective taking distance and then to enjoy the joy of redesign and experimentation. Immersion in history and stories. Creatively deal with information, be inspired to re-assemble them in collages, re-enactments, performances, exhibitions and events.

Important in the implementation of artistic ideas is for me the parallel retaining and converting in text and image. My medium is the paper, it is an information carrier, container and my canvas. My art wants to fulfill seemingly worthless with shine. I consider my artistic work as a value-added process. As I surrender myself selected content, be it the biographies of social outcasts or groundbreaking inventors or antiquarian illustrated books and Internet forums, I make myself available for a new objective. I give myself time walking through shops and the net, leafing through magazines, books.

This self-indulgence is the requirement for the creative process. My art is an expression of love of life, wonder and trust in the material. I allow my subconscious to join the creative process and that makes my art unique, in that I draw from myself, provocing my own depth and longing as decision-makers to even challenge them to interfere.

I dedicate myself to the arts and artistic concepts, because I want to express something, which I suppose to be interesting for others too. I am looking for like-minded, kindred spirits, sense and exchange. For me art is a turning to the essence of things. My main idea is to create connections. Prerequisite for my creative being is an inner smile, knowing that all is well. The fact that to bread life is something beautifull and that art is the artform of creating. Others should feel lifted up and secure, because I'm that as well in the moment of creating. My Topics I choose rarely aware, they come to me, come to my mind and they stand out from the fact that they are more important to me than others. In this process sometimes the technology or the medium in which I express myself gets changed. New ways that once seem absurd to me, are anxious eyed and carefully tested, before than a new approach results in a work.

My current work is a major challenge for me, because in me pulsates the longing, from now on, not only to link things together, but also made experience to lead fruitful to each other. Can a collage or object box be the setting for a Performance? Am I able to lead performance art, film and own prose texts to each other and to connect them to a shared drive? I made the experience that the fact that a technique bores me, is an invitation to forget it once for a later re-use to supply an altered purpose. Do I allow me a no to a previously preferred medium of expression, I realize suddenly relationships and new opportunities. To accept dissatisfaction and deal positively with it, is for me one of the biggest challenges. This process tells me where it goes: Closer to myself, closer to the statement of my work and even closer to the possible pleasure that my work brings to others. That's why I want to go further: Cause do I find a more intense self-expression, I can also come closer to the public, giving more."
