My work is about people. What fascinates
me particularly is what takes place in and between people.
With my work I want to give space to
tranquil little stories. Not big political themes, but
universal feelings like insecurity, the yearning for
contact; loneliness and powerlessness. I represent this with
subdued, sober images. I want to show the unassuming beauty
of vulnerability.
I use different materials and
techniques. I experiment with combining various mediums.
What I aim at constantly is to create one whole, one image,
using different materials and techniques.
Lines play an important role in my work.
They cover some of my characters, but there are also growing
lines, flowing lines, clotheslines, security lines. Lines in
the background have formed houses, an entire city. They
stress the isolation of the characters, their transfixed
pose.
In
my spatial work the lines literally form threads making
their own drawings and telling new stories. |
