Working as an artist in Vienna, I move across drawing, photography, assemblage, photolithography, and collaborative forms of making.

Rooted in the tradition of still life, my practice unfolds from the question of how we relate to the material world. Through drawing, acts of looking, translation processes, the photographic camera, and the unfamiliar arrangement of objects, food, minerals, and materials, I trace and reflect on these relations. Believing that not only living beings, but matter in all its forms, has its own way of acting, answering, and asserting itself, I seek to create encounters in which other ways of perceiving and relating to our environment might become perceptible.

On my Mastodon profile, I share reflections on how images are translated into patterns and patterns into images — through weaving, photolithography, and early computing — alongside the materials and minerals that underpin these processes.
