Works

	Fjord Drawings I stayed two months at ‚Kunstnarhuset Messen‘ in Ålvik / Norway. Many water colours, collages and drawings came into being outdoors at Hardangerfjord.
	temporary ground The title came into being because of the situation of my studio floor in Cologne. Special works were presented in correspondence with the partly torn off floor. This complex name (designation, description, labeling, term) does fit generally with my drawings and objects and will work now as a working title.
	Spatial Shapes After a two-month stay in the Contemporary Art Center Nairs, the architecture and landscape of the Lower Engadin in Switzerland continue to inspire my work. The large-scale formations were developed for the exhibition ‘Orte’ (places) in the ‘Neues Kunstforum’ Cologne.
	River Drawings The drawings with the series title ‘Fluss‘ (river) are outdoors work, which came into being on the banks of the river Inn near Scuol in Switzerland.
	Landscape Space Boxes, cardboards, crumpled paper. Indirect drawing and structure – folded edges, paper wrinkles, chiseled and torn parts – all correspond with architectural elements and pictorial use of ink.
	Object Drawing Space – Landscape – Time: Crucial factor across all works. Inspired by stays in Macedonia, Iceland and Switzerland.
	Murals 'Space' is crucial for all my work. With these collages the wall becomes the plate. The mural corresponds with the whole room.
	Städtebau (Urban Development) After spending three months in New York City I was inspired to do a series of drawings and collages which are titled Städtebau (Urban Development). From unfolding a found box there instantly comes into being a geometric field which inspires architectural shapes and motifs.
	NY 2001 Four weeks in New York City in February/March 2001 and there these drawings came into being.
	NY '97 Observing Manhattan's architecture between its two rivers made me concious of the contrast between geometric and organic forms. The shapes in these drawings become both representational and abstract, massive and transparent, intimate and monumental as reflected by my varied experiences of the City.
	Concrete and plaster pieces These art works are connected with my experiences with archeological excavations and documentation of archeological finds. By a process of putting plaster fragments in concrete cast and visa-versa I create remnants, imprints, impressions and fossils.
