About Me

ARTIST.In my previous artwork I have explored a broad variety of media and fields including small delicate drawings, sculptures in textiles, set design, costume and large scale wall drawings. For future projects I decided to focus on performance in connection with sculptures. At any given exhibition I want those new sculptures to be seen as intrinsically linked to me as an active artist, and simultaneously to be active themselves. I therefore deploy theatrical means and an alter ego, a persona with the appearance of a female sailor named Sailor - Single. I regard this as ‘performative tools’, which are applicable to various situations and sites. Most importantly this enables me to take it on journeys and work outside the studio. This is a deliberate decision.I spent nearly every day working in my studio for the last five years. I wondered how to produce art and gain life experience at the same time...
