Biography
Statement
My artistic practice moves seamlessly between video, animation, installation and drawing. In my multi-layered investigations, I deal with the human and natural-political issues within our anxiety-ridden society. My imagery depicts in-between spaces that can be read as fittings between humans and nature and humans to each other.
