I work with sculpture, installation and photography in projects of various formal and socially engaged nature.
Often expressed in spatial and sculptural constructions where visual art and architecture overlap. Recent work point to the social and poetic dimensions of our built environment; construction as language, material as the supporting idea, architectural space as a place for negotiation. Society’s absurd overconsumption inspires circular thinking by making use of reclaimed and found material in several works.
