Artist statement

I create large and small scale fabric collages and installations, depicting forests and trees.

I collect fabric pieces, old clothes and domestic textiles (towels, sponges, etc.) from wherever I am working on a particular project. Sometimes I use plain fabric pieces, other times I use the patterned parts. Scraps are machine sewn or glued, or sometimes both, to make painting like tapestries. With my installations, the finished fabric piece is installed in a specific environment, such as an actual forest.

I am interested in environmentalism and conservation in the classical sense but also in looking at and expressing a more personal relationship with ones natural environment.

I am interested in group shows, both indoor or outdoor, which have an environmental theme. I am particularly interested in opportunities in Europe, as I currently live in Germany.
