My work focuses on the perception of place and space. With different mediums, like drawing, sculpture and photography, I explore the way we relate with the world around us through our senses.

Besides perception, I am interested in the way we interact with, inhabit and map space and place. Construction manuals, floor plans, roadmaps, Google maps and Google glass show an abstracted image of the world, but also manipulate this image and our interaction with the world. I reuse these mappings and representations to create a new awareness of place and scale in my work. Abstraction and visual distance is counterbalanced by a concentration on the material, tactility and the work process.
