Artist Statement:
I work with traditional and contemporary art-making methods to process observations and questions I have about human and non-human relationships. Geology, ecocriticism theory, digital representations of nature, and mechanical errors inspire my compositions. I am interested in decolonial practices, the definition of nature, and loosening the violent grip white supremacy and patriarchal ideologies have on culture today through art and alternative artistic practices.
In the studio, I work with an array of materials and techniques such as weaving, embroidery, quilting, tufting, ceramics, welding, video, 3D modeling and animation, photography, and print-making. Since 2020 I hve been involved in many collaborative projects which I see as a vital element of my practice and research around human and non-human relationships.
How has culture managed to build an ecological inequality between humans and non-human bodies? Is this reversible? Why does that mountain look so damn good?
Career:
Currently based in Germany and USA.
2024-2027 MFA in Sculpture and Post- Studio Practice in University of Colorado Boulder.
I received my BFA in Visual and Critical Studies from the School of Visual Arts in New York City in 2014. I graduated from the Art Academy Leipzig (HGB) with a Diplom Degree in New Media: Installation and Space with Prof. Joachim Blank in February 2020 with honorable distinction.
Since 2013, I have exhibited my works world-wide in Germany, USA, Asia, and the Middle East with solo and two-person exhibitions in Lebanon, Germany, Austria, South Korea, and USA.
I have been published in digital and printed magazines such as Still Point Magazine, Textur Magazine, and Leipzig Glocal for my artworks and/or writings. I won 5th place in a student international art prize, Olympia, in 2017 in Tokyo.
I have received grants and stipends from the Kunstfonds Stiftung, Neustart Kultur, Kulturamt Leipzig, and Kulturstifuting Der Freistaates Sachsen.
Between 2019-2022 I taught after school textile courses at the International School Leipzig for high schoolers.
From 2022-2024 I was faculty at the Academy of Fine Arts in Leipzig working with the Foundation Studies for Media Art with Prof. Eli Cortiñas and Prof. Stine Marie Jacobsen.
On a freelance basis, I work as an art mediator, mediating artist talks and giving tours of art and cultural events in German and English languages, in addition to costume and set design for performances and concerts, transcribing or translating artistic texts or videos, and teaching miscellaneous methods for different art classes.
Since 2020, I am an active member of the Kombinat Association, a shared studio space located in the Spinnerei Leipzig, Halle 14.
