paper stories
The pandemic and the crisis situation brought on changes on many levels – temporary as well as lasting. The changed conditions have also had an impact on my artistic work. Especially the relocation of the artistic work to the private living space challenged me. But it also forced me to use an artistic expression that was new to me, and I am using it until now. Due to the limited possibilities I have developed copy paper as an artistic material for myself. By rolling up the paper, I create a material from which I build objects that grow into installations with a narrative character. And by this I am creating stories in which I negotiate what I have personally experienced with what is socially relevant. The outer shape of the objects shows the repetitive way of working on the artwork as well as the tightness of the immediate surroundings. And also old memories are having an impact on the installation.
