work:

I would like to explore the concepts of time, space and language. My own personal experiences are more important then a scientific approach. I create art that exists between the 2 and 3 dimensional: a drawing or pattern in free space. Since my study in textile design I use knitting and textile techniques to create my work. To me the apparent contrast of making a ‘flat’ drawing in a 3D space equals the simplicity of the concept of time, space and language. At present I produce patterns by scanning 3D objects. The tangible shapes are spatial installations made on and for their specific place.
