The focus of my investigation is the conceptual work with and in a given space. I mostly worked with extensive installations, however I also used other mediums and forms for my artistic work. I am interested in the rituals and the traditions of the everyday life, which are changed and developed parallel to society. I get a special kind of inspiration from the old shapes from jars, which used to have functions for the washhouse and the kitchen and which were replaced nowadays by new shapes and machines. Obsolete things like the washing jug and bowl, thimbles or canning pots still exist in our collective memory. The object is always in a dialogue with its surroundings. Things of the daily life turn into a material.
