Areas of interest
I work with sculpture to generate and trace exchanges between bodies, between bodies and materials, and between materials. The ambition is to register the consequences of one surface or material yielding another through capturing the unexpected gestures that occur in the gap between mould and cast. In this interstitial space, occurrences often remain unforeseeable and unaccountable.
Background
I initially trained in Germany as a theatre designer with Herbert Scherreiks and the Institute for Film and Theatre Studies of the Freie Universität Berlin, before studying and researching art at the Slade School of Fine Art at University College London, and Goldsmiths University of London. I had residencies and research fellowships at the British School in Rome; HIAP Finland; Treignac Project France; International Kurru Archaeological Excavation Project, Sudan; Daedalus Street, Athens; Henry Moore Institute Leeds; Site Gallery Sheffield and Wysing Arts Centre Cambridge.
