My practice is based on montage as a conceptual process. It stands in for the movement of thoughts and investigations on what is happening between the transmitter and receiver. My works are remarks on imperfection, a layperson’s mistakes in reading, listening and understanding. Perception, connection and transmission remain central to my research. Soundless installations and drawings often revolve around the sound. The visual compositions emerge through an ongoing relations between materials, their context and environment.

I am active also in the field of book design and other printed matter.
