about my work
Ich habe mich, nach einem BA in 3D Design an Londons Guildhall University, der Druckgrafik gewidmet. Das ergab Sinn, meine Design Arbeiten waren flach. Ich nahm Kurse in Tief als auch Hochdruck und war angetan von der Tatsache, dass man nie genau weiß was für ein Resultat ein Druck bringt. Man kann ihn so lassen oder auseinandernehmen. Dadurch kam ich zur Mixed-Media Collage. Mash-ups bei denen Monotypie, Linoldruck und Pop bzw. Street Art Elemente mit Stencils, Stiften, oder Spray zum Einsatz kommen. Dabei geht es thematisch um den Menschen. Zuerst um Personen des öffentlichen Lebens deren Werk (Bücher, Kunst, Filme) ich bewundere. Farbig, mit Humor oder sozial kritischem Kommentar, auf Englisch. In letzter Zeit widme ich mich feministischen oder philosophischen Themen. Und persönlich eingefärbten: Was verbindet, was unterscheidet uns? Was treibt uns, hält uns zurück? Wohin gehen wir? Meine Kunst geht in alle Richtungen: Monochrom und bunt, flach und in Relief, laut und leise.
After a BA in 3D Design at the Guildhall University in London I turned my attention to printmaking. It made sense, as my design work was also flat. I took courses and workshops in intaglio as well as relief printmaking and loved the fact that you could never really predict what you got with a print. You can leave the finished result or cut it up. That's how I discovered Mixed Media collage. Mash-up where monotypes, linoprints and pop and street art elements are used alongside stencils, pens or spray. My main theme is humanity. Initially people in public life whose work (books, art, films) I admire. Colourful, with humour or social commentary, in English. Lately I've been addressing feminist or philosophical themes. And personal stuff. What connects, what separates us? What drives us, holds us back? Where are we going? My art moves in all directions: Monochrome and colourful, flat and in relief, noisy and quiet.
