Working as a sculptor I am using moving image as a building block in the creation of video objects. Concepts often originate from physical activity or constructing processes that get re-rooted into kinetic contraptions.
I am German visual artist living and working in Helsinki.
I studied at Academy for Art & Design in Enschede in the Netherlands and hold a MFA degree from the finnish Academy of Fine Arts. My works have been shown in european as well as at international exhibitions and are part of the collections of Kiasma, contemporary art Museum and EMMA, Espoo modern art museum and I have several works at the National Gallery collection.
