Whenever I see a tree or a rooftop, I want to climb it. My studio follows me to these outside locations. I am an artist, but also an observer, a researcher and a wanderer. In my work I react to given aspects that I encounter in a place. I work with the stories and routines that a landscape and its people hold.

With every journey I take in a new space, it slowly becomes a place to me. We make places by adding our own markings but mainly through creating memories. In my site specific works I create experiences that go beyond the material it is made in. And that leave their mark even after the work moves on. 

My artistic approach is to embrace being the stranger. As the stranger in an environment, I create alternative perspectives to the familiar view so, for a moment, we can re-wonder where we are.
