My studio

I select objects that attract my attention and explore relationships between them. Discarding those that do not work and inviting new ones in. Naturalia and artificialia sit side by side in my work, arousing interest and curiosity in the viewer.

Curiosity is a key word for me, as it is the historic cabinets of curiosity that are my driving force. I explore ways of using archiving, classification, association and connections and am particularly interested in the areas where art and science meet. The New York Times recently called this way of working ‘the new crossover art’.
