In my work I invent abstract spaces out of Chinese ink and lots of water. Within this mess I depict creatures that I developed through automatic drawing techniques, who often appear lost or ill-equipped to deal with the chaos around them. I understand my work as syndetic, which means I add things without differentiating and analyzing what’s important or better or right. This ambiguos approach is an open offer to the viewer to interpret or just relate.
Nevertheless I treat my creatures, who don’t fulfill normative expectations of beauty, gender and competence, with tenderness, curiosity and humour. They help me to explore the invisible and the well-hidden; the fear of bottomlessness; the feeling of being overwhelmed; the fright just before the fall; the resilience in front of multiple impositions; the goofiness in unfamiliar situations; and the shame that comes with all of that.
