Artist statement

*1997, AUT Her artistic practice is rooted in a deep interest in the randomness of the universe and how it reveals universal laws threw the rearrangement and recontextualisation of meaning. She is drawn to magical practices and ritualistic engagement to explore these hidden structures. Her work seeks to bridge the boundaries between natural and cultural realms, emphasizing transcendence, liminality and development. She is particularly intrigued by the relationship between the material and immaterial worlds. For her, painting resides the immaterial realm-it is experienced as a liminal state. Yet, the process is also about letting things materialize, interacting with matter in a way that gives it agency and life. This tension between seen and unseen, and the dynamic interaction between creation and discovery, is central to her approach.
