My practice involves painting, installation, performance and video. I work with materials made for other purposes, such as house paint, thread, aluminium foil, book binding fabric, cyanotype, wafer paper, chlorophyll.

​

Each painting begins with an obstruction I set for myself. I complicate my own ability so that the work is resolved on its own terms. I work to find tensions between materials, use them “wrong” and set up conditions for material interactions. Thread is used in Moirai series, bringing in material crafts, glued to the surface and covered in acrylic and oil. The yarn from sound performances in the woods gets reused for the paintings. Paintings become the physical manifestations, scores of the once performed and recorded experimental sound. Remnants of one time-based medium go through the artist body/mind system and become the foundation for the two-dimensional physical work.​

​

In performance and video, the body becomes both medium and site. Actions rooted in domestic tasks and crafts unravel into self-made rituals.​

Site-specific installations respond to the architecture and history of a space, treating it as a living body, present, wounded, healing, dreaming. Language enters my work only after it has been destroyed. Letters are incinerated, the ash added to a fabric dye, physically altering the object. It gets dissolved by chlorophyll, sealed inside material that can no longer be read. Language becoming sculptural material by means of being altered by another medium.
