“In my drawing practice, I work with pen, brush, scissors, bone folder and hole punch on and with paper. My artistic work in which I develop own experimental setups is very much informed by scientific methods. Working with a systematic set of rules opens up an infinite cosmos of possibilities that I am free to explore. I work with series of works that emerge from my interactions with scientists. This leads to collaborations with internationally operating institutes and their staff in fields such as cloud and plant classification, cell division, human diversity, genetic basic research, and sustainability.
My attitude to scientific methods is, however, ambivalent: On the one hand, I am guided by the fascination of how science tries to methodologically and systematically explain seemingly chaotic facts of life. In order to do so, it develops experimental systems. The observed disruptions significantly help to extrapolate new insights. On the other hand, scientific research only cares about what can be measured. Everything else does not exist. It is the space between these poles where I create my art.”
