Thesis

In my artistic practice, I am often concerned with the topics; authority and power in society, like in families, politics or daily life. An issue that occupies me in my theoretical and artistic research is the aftermath of dread, trauma. In my installations, the viewer often plays an active role and his actions are guided by the sculptures. Through sculpture, mostly metal, I transform my messages into physical experiences. The space is inhabited by strong associations and symbolic gestures. Often I act as some kind of mediator myself. The elements of sculpture and theater are being combined. My work transforms the space into a stage, where the sculptures and the viewer are performing together. The barrier between artwork and viewer is broken and a real encounter can be made. The concept of family constellation is always an inspiration and guidance through my work.
