In my work I observe the shapes, structures and events in my environment. At the moment I mainly focus on the shadows of artworks at museums and galleries and the parallel worlds created by them. I see the shadows, which are not intended to be observed, as independent images. The original shape of the work is transformed into something else.
I approach each theme as a whole that consists of individual works. Each work is spatially connected, and in interaction, with the other works. When I have chosen a theme, I work on it by drawing pictures and taking photographs. The final work consists of woodcuts on thin Japanese paper.
The works in the Infrasonic series have been inspired by sound art and sound installations, but because these sounds are either very quiet or their frequency is very low, we cannot hear them. The range of shades in the works complements their silence.
