Painters & Sculptors Grant, 2019
I am committed to pushing the boundaries and nature of sculpture. I am not only interested in space, volume, texture and materials, but also in where and how sculpture is produced. My installations are directly inspired by their situational contexts in different cities, specific natural environments and the interrelationships between them.”
