Descrizione Opera / Biografia
I developed the idea to the series ”What Do With the Old Shoe?” when clearing out my wardrobe. Up till now I`ve created 14 shoes and I am working on another one right now. 3 further ones only exist as photography.

Photography, video, assemblage and objectart.
The intended mise-en-scène has been an important component of her art work. Having started with arranged portraits, for the last years the artist has focused on still lifes and turned to a surrealistic way of working. ”I just need to assemble the pictures and thoughts of my conscious and unconscious to create a new vision and a new way to see. As Georg Christoph Lichtenberg said, ”He, who has eyes to see, sees everything in everything.”
Research as well as the study of particular topics play important roles in the artistic realization: to deal with a topic - to eviscerate, to mangle, and to transform - to achieve a new insight.
