Artist Statement:
My work can be classified as
conceptual installation art.
It deals with social,
political, and environmental
themes. I refer to it as
"projects", rather than
"artworks" - working like a
field-investigator, doing a
lot of research, and
reflecting on my own
involvement in this process.
My maxim is that art should be
an open and provisional system
of processing and portraying
socially and politically
relevant views. I don't work
as a propagandist - I'm more
interested in how subjective
ideas and experiences,
prejudices, and preferences
enter seemingly objective
discourses. It is important to
me to connect my art with
society where it can function
as a corrective for
experiences in reality.
Materials are found objects in
combination with other media -
neon, photography, video,
sound. etc. I often use
every-day articles in my work,
investing the mundane and the
ordinary with an element of
transcendence.
