Artist’s Statement
I'm interested in art, craft and industrial product comparability and dialogue between. Inspired by the juxtaposition of new and old, broken and intact, even in an intangible sense of time. Maybe that’s why I work on different art-based projects at the same time. Art and design feed each other: art liberates, design parses, both have their place. A holistic understanding of art and the recognition of one’s own artistic language, and the things that affect them, are a matter of thought for me, as the latest concept of neo-materialism. Community art-based projects also suited me because I was inspired by the complex dialogue.
I primarily feel that I am a conceptual artist, although I am a weaver, textile designer, textile artist (MA) and visual arts educator (MA).
