STATEMENT

In my work, I use a process of creative discovery to explore complicated geographies and specifically the alienation and displacement brought on by cataclysmic disasters, violent conflicts and hubris.

I grew up in Berlin, a city scarred by war and overshadowed by history. This may explain why, as an artist, I try to stay acutely aware of everything going on—in worlds both big and small. As I work, I allow automatic gesture and mark-making to suggest the imagery; in this way, information gets filtered and rearranged, and remanifests itself as imagery.

For the past several years, I have worked on a series that reflects the idea that not just products, but people, societies and the planet itself have become disposible. Another set of works, Infected Rooms, considers how isolation and contagion transformed our everyday spaces and interactions, during the pandemic.
