SELECTED
EARLIER WORKS
Earlier works trace recurring concerns with landscape, transformation and cultural constructions of nature.
36 ALPINE SUMMITS
— A DEMONTAGE
Plaster moulds made from thirty-six Alpine summit stones were used to produce stoneware duplicates. The original stones were subsequently ground to dust and preserved in metal tins; replicas and residue are presented together in a shelving system.
Exhibited in 1997 at Galerie Freihausgasse, Villach, and in a solo exhibition at the Alpinmuseum, Munich, in 2000. The work was acquired in 2016 for the Collection of the State of Tyrol at the Tiroler Landesmuseum Ferdinandeum, Innsbruck.
The original plaster moulds were not part of the acquisition and are now being developed as Negative Forms (after Demontage).

TATAMI
LANDSCAPE
Artificial-grass tatami forms are set within a field of white gravel. The geometric islands become places for kneeling, encounter and ritualised action.
The work translates the conventions of a Japanese dry garden into a provisional social landscape: constructed nature becomes a surface for use.
VIEW PROJECT
KARESANSUI
A reconstruction of the Ryōan-ji dry garden at a scale of 1:5 replaces its stones with small cones of gravel. Reduction becomes a process of gradual dissolution.
Visitors enter a landscape that can be used and transformed: an image of contemplation becomes material, action and temporal change.
