Biography
My work is a research into the fields of drawing, painting, sculpture, installation, projection and performance. By developing specific works for different mediums I try to unfold a complexity of contextual relations, materials and practices, tracing back to the basis of all my works: the straight line.
For more than six years I have been focussing on my huge archive of digital drawings and leading to complex transformations into numerous art works. Starting with mind-maps and mementos with an architectural background, I soon reduced my compositions to minimal, constructivist drawings and paintings, followed by serial installations with optional video projections and minimal sculptures.
In my work I am concerned with the artistic use of the digital-analog transformation processes. The foundation of my work are drawings, generated and composed on a tablet and computer. Many steps of digital analog transformations are necessary to help the tablet drawings reach their final form - such as paintings, spatial arrangements or tangible video installations. Materiality, haptics, aberration, imprecision and comprehensibility are given back to these digital units through large-format prints, stencil techniques and oil paint, three-dimensional steel sticks, wooden beams and boards with all-over video projections. A real materiality is passed back to these virtual data files with all the substantial characteristics becoming visible in this transforming process.
The components of my works are simple raw materials such as paper, wood, canvas and more complex, sustainable composites such as glass, steel and recycled elements.
