Originals
A selection of works sorted by series
Face Time
“Face Time” presents character studies in the form of collaged heads. Looking for fictional individuals, varied facial parts are being assembled and piled, inventing new characters.
Wanted Witches – Witches Wanted
The portrait edition “Wanted Witches – Witches Wanted” comprises 13 known, living and nonconformist people who cross borders and act as pioneers on controversial social issues.
For the screen printed portraits a particular phosphorus ink was used allowing – as if by witchcraft – the ignition of matches on the actual artworks.
St. Nimmerlein
The edition “St. Nimmerlein” consisting of 10 Holy Helpers is named after the fictional patron Sankt Nimmerlein and is based on the traditional depiction of Christian saints. (Realized in larger than life-sized screen prints on paper and cardboard.)
Duality
“Duality” involves a selection of skull depictions. Inspired by the dualities of everyday life and Vanitas ‘Memento Mori’ imagery, it illustrates the inseparability of life and death.
Rabotniki
“Rabotniki” consists of figurative screen-print collages inspired by the spirit of Dada and Surrealism. The name derives from the Russian word for workers.
Identikit
The project “Identikit” discusses the topic of immigration, identities and clichés.
