In my artistic work, the focus is always on the production processes with their investigations, experiments, and repetitions—detached from a concrete result. Many small decisions regarding the painting surface, material, movement, and tools enable transformations that open up a space for experience and understanding that has become existential for me. This space allows me to be present and conscious in the moment, to playfully explore the interplay of control and letting go, and to make the passage of time visible through the traces of the individual process steps in the artwork. My love for the Baltic Sea has led me to marine conservation, which I address and support in my artistic work. I am concerned with a different approach to these issues, one that allows us to reconnect with the sea in a protective way.
