Artist
Statement:
My work lives through the love for details, the respect for concept and
a passion for the unusual. I¹ve been working for the web design industry
for over 4 years before re-entering college in 2002 to complete my MA
in Communication Design at Central St Martins. Since 2003 my work grew
richer in its illustrative style and going back to print and developing
an interest in textile printing paved a new work direction for me. As
a graphic designer I am interested in working with interior, product and
fashion designers to collaborate and to join talents and ideas. Paper
is not the only interesting canvas and I am looking for new ways to present
my graphical world.
A few words
about the images displayed in the gallery:
01
Illustration/Collage for ŒDesign Is Kinky¹
This is a cover for design portal DIK, which I submitted recently. It
is a study about seagulls I shot with my LOMO camera in Brighton and a
series of other birds.
02
Illustration for Urban Collective
This is another cover for a design portal about the ŒOlympic Spirit¹,
featuring the colours of my German nationality. I have chosen an organic
interpretation for the sport of swimming.
03
3 Chair Installation
As part of my MA theme ŒIdentifying Human Gender¹ I created
3 doll cushions out of satin cotton, printed in the Netherlands with the
highest quality. The designs tell the true story about a boy who was raised
as a girl and served as an experiment to help clarifying the old Nature/Nurture
debate. The collage consists of photography, embroidery, drawings and
scans. The chairs took already part in 2 exhibition and are for sale.
04
T-Shirt Design ŒGM Foods¹
Funky Gandhi asked me to create an illustration for one of their t-shirts,
which feature local artists dealing with contemporary social and economical
issues. They sell their items on markets such as Portobello.
05
Harrods ŒFantasy Garden¹ Deckchair
Louis Mariette is a Chelsea hat couturier who was asked to create a deckchair
for a silent charity auction as part of the ŒFantasy Garden¹
event at the department store Harrods. I art directed and designed the
print for the chair.
06
Study with Patterns and Shapes for Printed Textiles
07
Curse Jive Records
Curse is a German Rap artist who needed a new look for this 2nd album.
I¹ve created a warm souly look and feel throughout the areas of print
and web. Check out www.curse.de
08
Seeds Logo Design
Logos and CI¹s play an important role for me as a graphic designer.
Creating good trademarks that hit the spot are not an easy task my client
was very content about the outcome of the logo designs for their organic
salad restaurant.
