My work is migrant. Between different layers of the present tense - the consciousness of the space, the body and the self.

It is situated somewhere in-between the visible walls and unknown grounds. 

Mediated by a dancing body, searching within installation, video, photography, interventions, text and time. By re-contextualising existing objects, social constructs, values or ideas, its aim is to gently lower the walls to the ground. It mirrors, in order to inspire, a new image of it all. A different one.

‍

And I…I am a storyteller without words. A tiny little translator on a huge, timeless wheel which conveys a much bigger story. The story gifted to you and me, deeply rooted, embodied in every poem and the tree. Approaching a new piece, is to approach a new way of searching for this story, translating it further - so the wheel keeps carrying it along.

‍

I am here because I love to imagine the art space as a possible safe environment. As a possible architecture with no other function for its walls, than to simultaneously heal and provoke, to encourage inner growth and a wider care.

‍

With my little translations, I try to rely on nourishing both your imagination and mine - the important re-learning and re-acting through movement and play. With desire for free knowledge, valuing the exchange of experience, relations and ideas - keeping the wheel gifting,

‍

 With love, to dance.
