The studio is open Saturday 26 April from 12-17
In my practice, I explore the conditions of artistic work through in-depth interviews and conversations with artists from various fields, levels of establishment, and experiences. I am curious about examining what we share and how our differences shape distinct outcomes.
Central to my work is the question of how to create conditions for sustainability and nurture creativity in times of significant change and shifting demands for direct engagement.
In previous projects, my focus has instead been on themes of decay, erosion, and crisis – another approach to addressing powerlessness, the need for security, and the anchoring role of art in life as a whole.

Embodied (part of a photo series with public sculptures).
About
In this ongoing project, I document myself mimicking public sculptures in an attempt to physically relate to the forms and gestures embedded in these works, exploring the ways in which the human body can connect to the structures and meanings they convey.
