“The field of my artwork is performance as a visual art form and its recording in photographs and installations incorporating various influences of feminism, cultural criticism and the body and identity politics. The subtext of my work is the role of art within the context of financial and economic policies and its effects on society.”

“As a teacher my main emphasis lies on design theory and design history as well as artistic strategies in the field of design. Together with the students I am researching and experimenting manufacturing processes and the work with materials while focusing on ecology, sustainability, fairness and social relationship.”
