A starting position determined by chance, mostly a swarm of sprayed dots on the blank page, is the material from which I let the drawings grow. A regular procedure and few initial decisions lead to networked structures and rhythmic constellations, in which the most diverse forms and spatialities can be discovered. Lines drawn by hand, irregular applications of color, and other unintentional deviations open up space for intermediate tones in the organic-constructive systems.

Even slightly different variables and small variations in the process lead to completely different arrangements and are an inducement to explore the spectrum of decision-making possibilities by working in series and superimposing intermediate stages.

The playfully explorative tracing of different parallel processes of emergence, the fathoming of the interrelationships of form, and the balancing of mutual conditionalities are my way of using artistic means to investigate the occurrence of complex relations and to observe their perception and interpretation.
