About Me

I am an artist and teaching librarian at the Upper Austrian State Library (Oberösterreichische Landesbibliothek). My artistic practice unfolds at the intersection of sculpture, installation and interdisciplinary inquiry. My works, often large-scale and site-specific, are marked by a finely tuned sensitivity to space, materiality and transformation. They frequently engage with social, ecological and cultural themes, placing emphasis on participation, collaboration and process.
