BAM! Twiggy – Or the first woman on the moon
Every now and then, I respond to an open call. Most of the time, I enjoy browsing the Open Call section on the Paris Collage Collective website, lovingly curated by the wonderful Petra Zehner—an artist whose work I admire deeply. The theme of this particular open call caught my eye: Create a collage of one […]

Something got me startet – A Collaboration with Katrin Klink
I’ve been doing collages for over ten years now – mostly alone, mostly in silence, mostly lost in my own paper worlds. Until recently, I had never collaborated with another collage artist.

I started working on it in a time of deep emotional exhaustion. My father had just died after a long illness. His […]

Taken out of context
For this series of 21 collages, I’ve been diving into a very specific visual world: German women’s magazines from the late 1950s and early 1960s. There’s something about them that draws me in—maybe it’s the colors, the optimism, or the carefully staged images of domestic life. But it’s more than just aesthetics. It feels like […]

I trawl the Megahertz
I trawl the Megahertz Back in 2009, I began what would become my first large collage series: I trawl the Megahertz. It consists of 27 collages, all created on double pages from an old school atlas. I had bought the atlas as a child, maybe ten years old, from a secondhand shop. I remember carefully […]
