Artist statement

‘My projects are process-oriented investigations of natural systems, from the forests in Germany to the endangered coral reefs. I am concerned with the concepts of change and transience. As Hegel said, ‘it is the process of change which makes evolution possible’.

The interrelation of organisms in ecosystems serves as a starting point for intense scientific-related research. My biomorphic-shaped projects explore the metamorphic cycles that organisms undergo in nature. My work reflects natural processes like melting, crystallisation and growth.’
