Written images (publications)
publications are one of my main media forms as writer and illustrator are titles that I find among my various artist identities
digital publication,
mixed media, 2020
This digital booklet is a collection of notes, sketches and paintings I made during a part of the lockdown. It was made on a website, so that the audience could click through the pages.
It resembles a diary and although there is text, as it is handwritten, not everything is readable beyond it being written in French, German and in English without translations. The booklet centres around the need to keep traces of one's existence as life becomes dreamlike and time blurs. Fairy tales and other dreamlike figures make appearances and mix in with very practical descriptions of daily life activities.

printed zine, 2021
This zine was made as I was going through some very strong feelings and trying to navigate them and the way they affected me and my relationships to others.
The photo series captures the reveal of these feelings through the patchwork skirt and the embroideries hiding underneath it.
The actual regulation in this project lies in the process of the patchwork, sewing every piece of fabric onto the skirt took a long time. the repetitive and monotone task of riping the painted fabric apart and sewing it to the rest occupied both body and mind while they started processing their (my) feelings. After finishing the skirt I felt lighter, I felt as if I had padded the skirt with my frustrations, anxieties and other feelings.
