Hello, as a freelance artist I am currently working with the smallest found objects.
My work is about broken porcelain and tiny flower remnants. It’s about fragile dolls’ hands, bean tendrils, lost pieces of plastic, bits of metal and paper or shriveled seed pods. In short: the most monumentally unimportant details make up my work.
I love putting the most questionable finds into unexpected new contexts. I focus on the most banal and everyday remnants. My miniature collages are a bow to the supposedly banal moment, to the tiny detail.
Value is what we consider valuable. Art is what we elevate to art.
media is moving more and more in a very questionable direction. That’s why I’ve revived the good old blog to share my thoughts on life and art with you.
A year or two ago, I wouldn’t have claimed that my art was political. But now it’s important to say it clearly and unambiguously:
My work stands for diversity, equal rights and the basic principles of democracy!
Through idiosyncratic arrangements and reinterpretations, tiny, trivial fragments take on an unexpected life of their own.
For example,inconspicuous little flower buds or tomato green, insect wings and press studs, seeds and other monumentally insignificant things come together next to the fragile withered remains of leaves to create completely new meaning.
In the 90s I started as a self-taught artist with my ceramic art workshop in Dorsten, specializing in sculptures using the build-up technique. 2000-2007 I managed a computer store. In 2008 I moved to Hamburg and since then I have been working as a freelance artist again.
The [UN]apparent worlds have already been honored several times with audience awards. In 2018, she was nominated for the Art Prize of the City of Fürstenwalde. The collages have already been shown in Florence and Venice. After the Corona period, they were exhibited at the Bielefeld Natural History Museum, the Bad Pyrmont Museum and the Bad Arolsen Museum, among others. Since 2018 I have been living and working in Bad Pyrmont, in the beautiful Weserbergland.
