Artist Statement
I search for the connections between the inside and outside space, between the gallery and the urban environment, between the secluded and the open space. For this I question elements of living and being trying to find the sense of human and non-human, of fiction and non-fiction, of life and death. By experimentation and use of biotechnology I create my work with my own hands whereby the labour and repetition of doing becomes part of the process and equally as important as the end. Through this I try to create new spaces of experiences through combining elements or materials, of the inside and the outside, of sense of space, of sense of time. By the use of this I try to create a new language to connect spaces with the viewer, with the place, with its experiences.
