About this artwork
Aqua-linoleum print on paper (monotype), 20 x 20 cm, passe-partout 30 x 30 cm
These prints explore the theme of the sea and the oldest known color, pink: a 2018 scientific article reports that researchers from the Australian National University (ANU) discovered bacterial residue beneath the Sahara, uncovering what is believed to be the world's oldest biological pigment. The pigments originate from a marine shale layer, now several hundred meters… below the Taoudeni Basin in West Africa, which formed approximately 1.1 billion years ago. At that time, an ocean covered what is now the Sahara, dominated by tiny bacteria. The color pigments are remnants of chlorophyll produced by cyanobacteria.

My artistic work always focuses on the intermedial production processes with their investigations, trials, errors, and repetitions—detached from a concrete result. Many small decisions regarding materials, tools, and their application enable transformations that open up a space for experience and understanding that has become essential to me. This space allows me to be mindful and clear in the here and now, to feel the interplay of control and letting go, and to experience an inner form of freedom. The passage of time becomes visible in the artwork through the traces of the individual process steps and can tell very personal stories. My love for the Baltic Sea led me to marine conservation, which I address and support in my artistic work. My aim is to provide a sensory connection to the necessary measures for a protective relationship with the Baltic Sea.
