Colour, material, process – three elements that form the fundament of my work as textile artist.

In addition, my focus is on disassembling and linking individual fragments, creating tensions and experimental work methods. In a dialogue between emotion and innovation, human and machine, tradition and technology, textile objects and installations are created that paint a contemporary picture of craftsmanship bringing together art and craft.
My work is influenced by my origin as a master tailor and an interdisciplinary-iterative approach to design, which I acquired at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart. The aesthetics of my objects are reminiscent of abstract paintings of horizons or water reflections.

In a self-developed knitting and yarn dyeing process, I create recurring colour moods that organically grow in controlled coincidence: Just like the transition zones from water to shore and from sky to earth.
The vividness in the colours, which can be constantly studied in light and shadow, is the inexhaustible and central inspiration of my work.
