I create narrative sculptures and wall objects.

The material I work with is books.

The medium 'book' is transformed into a visual-artistic formal language with a narrative character. The transformation creates a context to the content, which can be interpreted by the viewer from their own way of seeing and thinking, and that can have a narrative effect on memories, experiences and stories. The viewer becomes a narrator.

I used to be a graphic designer for all my work life, I've designed packaging, print media, then switched to web design.
At some point I wanted to step back from designing with the computer and develop my sculpting abilities, so I signed in for a bachelor degree course in product design for artisans.
Since then, I create jewelry of altered books and papers, since 2013 I do booksculpting.
Booksculpting means shaping altered books to expressive faces using cutting and carving techniques.

Born 12/02/1969 in Aachen, Germany
Self-employed Graphic Designer from 1992 to 2007
2007 to 2010 studies at Gut Rosenberg Academy for craft design, Aachen
Since 2010 free Sculptor and jewellery artist, working with book papers
