My work spans diverse media, from weaving and painting to installation and sculpture. I explore mark-making possibilities, examine language systems and vernacular styles, and ask how we process and interpret visual information. Frequently, I incorporate ideas from other disciplines. My Jacquard tapestries focus on the convergence of visual and textual languages, making connections between text and textile. In dialogue with the material culture of weaving, I examine how weaving intersects and augments developments in writing, painting, and abstraction.
I was born in the North of Germany and raised in Hamburg, and currently live in New York City. Recent solo exhibitions include Shape/Shifters, Project: ARTspace, New York; Breaking the Grid, Kang Contemporary, Berlin; Sideways, New York Public Library; Diamond Days, Villa Rosenthal, Jena, Germany. My work has appeared in group shows at venues including the Queens Museum, Flux Factory, The Drawing Center, Kentler International Drawing Space, and Montreal Centre for Contemporary Textiles. I have been the recipient of grants and residencies, including a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship and an Open Sessions Residency at The Drawing Center.
