Materiality is an important mediator in my practice and compositions are fragmented and
layered, both in texts as well as in the physical works. I collect and re-process materials and
artifacts that I find and encounter, my work is therefore often composed by material collected
over long periods of time.
Failure, honesty, time and expectations are re-occurring parameters in collected words, both
fictional and biographical narratives. Words, objects and materiality form interconnecting narrative compositions.
