documenting

The essence of documenting is watching and listening: you catch the moment when something is created that matters, and you zero in on it. I take pictures, make videos, record sound, collect sketches, doodles, all sorts of things. Afterwards, I rearrange the collected material, create unexpected links, and thereby bring out the surprises that occur during a work process in which the participants feel seen and heard.

autonomous work

In the early works on rice paper, the starting point was always a picture connected to the time I was a child.

collaboration

There came a moment when being engaged exclusively in my own art was no longer enough. I started working on projects that involved cooperation with non-artists.

meeting and exchange

Also Nepal is a workplace for me: the ubiquitous handiwork and crafts are an endless source of inspiration.
