My work is about defining and re-defining identity, ageing and mortality with a reference to feminism. It draws on personal experiences and is often based on something that triggers emotions and memories, familiarity or alienation.
I worked extensively on an area in Sicily that was abandoned after an earthquake. Inspired by abandoned objects among the ruins I explored the relationship between what is and what was. I felt a strong emotional link to my own private upheavals and their impact on my life. The remnants seemed to be part of me, of my own process of ageing. It was both the forceful transformations caused by the tremors and the subsequent long process of decaying that together created this impression.
For me, environments can influence emotional states and define identities. Even though spaces change over time, feelings can attach themselves to surroundings and thus be sensed in a place when it is revisited many years later.
My visual language is multi-layered, drawing on photography, photo editing, arranging, alternative printing processes and sometimes mixed media and work with archival images. I work with space, time and memories.
Inspired by wabi-sari philosophy, my work is subtle, tentative, inconspicuous, often hovering between recognisable and abstaract. It is about evoking emotions, creating dialogues between visible and invisible elements, traces of hidden aspects, searching for alternative narratives.

The resulting connexions might appear non-rational. They follow my own set of values. Shapes emerge that offer a range of possible associations and interpretations. These could be of both personal and collective nature.
