The man in the hat

My creative process and the narrative way of working enables me to bond with, reflect on and understand the world around me. I work with impressions and moods and combine them with quotations from the world of art. My works deal with design icons, which comprise a static and recognizable form, also hold a diffused memory and surreal narrative… My works are created in close dialogue with what is currently taking place around me. The renovation of my bathroom introduced me to a whole new world of taps. Alongside this, I’m fascinated by the headlines in the breaking news feed and the spam-box in my e-mail program; I handpick texts from the subject fields, thereby collecting both titles and inspiration for my Works.
