Flechtbilder
To realize my art I use one of the eldest handcrafts in the world - the weaving or plaiting. I cut photographs in stripes and intertwine them. Thus a picture with a geometric pattern is created that at first glance appears to be abstract or multifocal. Structure and order are a self-constructed matter and open to numerous compositions as well as references to pictorial contents. In many ways time is a main topic in my art. The very moment the pictures were taken intertwines with other moments and they thus condense into a "time-weaving" that questions the linear absorption of time.
