Introduction

I operate multidisciplinary within various media producing site-specific constructions, sculptures, models and video works. My work explores and unfolds the visual codes of the built environment by drawing its vocabulary on mundane design and architecture and by utilizing standard construction materials and methods.
The methods, such as modular structures and use of color codes, enable the work to operate in parallel allegory with modern construction. The dislocation and reassembling that the collected components undergo thereby evoke questions about homogenization, standardization and social values in relation to architecture and built environment.
