  “
  Engaging with texture is an accidental but very detailed sense of creating within space and time. Recycling, converting matière,
  die Formgebung, is a thoughtful, interactive experiment. The intracacy of reinventing the ‘survival’ of junk-pieces expresses Raisons d´Être.
  My papier-mâché art seeks curiousity in form and the transformative in every day life. With surréel, sequened kitsch, the vivid appearence is acting versus greynes.
  My Leitmotiv embraces the non-conformism, the whimsical, inspired by nature, childhood universe, theater, opera or fantasy film, beautifully described in the universe of "Le petit Prince" (A. de St. Exupéry)!
   
  Shaping and creating around assembled discarded objects with papier-mâché, my compositions are intuitively adopted and hand-painted with pattern or other craft techniques. ”

  “
  Once junk collected, I start to imagine a new body.
  Assembled, the junk parts are constituents of a skeletton extended with chicken wire construct. I than, fabricate my papier-mâché compound to wrapp and shape around the imaginative build.
  Depending on the final outcome, my techniques in designing the surface can be very diversified: Acrylic paintings, collage with colourful gift/napkin papers, glass pearls, pattern on smooth sheet materials, golden leaf, patina.
  Sometimes I tend to keep the artistical creation in its natural, papier-mâché look. ”
