Monotype

20 x 20 cm

I was born at the edge of the Black Forest, in Freiburg, Germany.


My interest in photography began by experimenting with photograms, so-called lensless photography. More than 30 years ago I printed my first photogram and built my first camera obscura. – I now work in monotypes, drawings, cold wax oil painting and video.


Borders and transitions have always pulled my interest.

Thus, you often will find me in that liminal space between painting, printmaking and photography. The subjects are taken from nature. For drawing onto a printing plate I use materials that I borrow from nature. After finishing the drawings I return these materials back 

to nature.


For almost seven years I lived in the deepest forests of the White Mountains on the East Coast of the USA, teaching analogue photography, as well as historical photographic processes of the 

19th century, at Plymouth State University, New Hampshire.


In December 2013 I returned to Europe. For one year I then resided on the island of Mallorca, Spain. 2015 I moved to Berlin, Germany. In December 2020 I found my way back to my birth town Freiburg at the foot of the Black Forest. 


I exhibit my work internationally, e.g. Germany, Italy, Albania, Spain, Norway, USA.
