Artist and maker from Germany, living in Copenhagen, Denmark. I work with paper and cloth but also love ceramics
It’s been a while… back again! This collage came together as a demo piece during my online workshop. The theme was playing with letters and text in an abstract way.

Morning! Been spending a lot of time in bed lately with a cold… This quilt was my first ever, made 15 years ago. Still going strong and still loved. From my favorite Kaffe Fassett book, Glorious Patchwork.

Today I created small collages during the live workshop alongside some members of my Atelierhaus-Community. 3 minutes for each one… a real creative power workout.

A little detail from the machine quilting in progress. This piece will probably get a whole lot more stitch love before it’s done.

Zoom class with my Atelierhaus community. We spent 2.5 joyful hours quilting and hand sewing together. The session was filled with lively exchange among participants — from absolute beginners to seasoned textile artists. We stitched, embroidered, quilted, and shared ideas. Very inspiring!

Just launched a new challenge in my small artist community : “No scrap left behind.”
Pick any magazine and turn it into something new—every technique, every medium is fair game. The only rule? Use everything. Every page, every snippet. Nothing goes to waste.

I should be cleaning the kitchen… but playing around with the Stop Motion Studio app is way more fun!

It’s so annoying that I can only work on one page at a time because of the drying time. For the next altered book, I’ll take it apart completely and reassemble it once all the pages are finished… I mean, how is a creative flow even supposed to happen like this? How do you deal with it?

Laid on the floor and rotated 90 degrees. Sometimes, a shift in perspective is all it takes to reconnect. This is where I’m picking it up again…

This is how I left the piece back in 2021… At the time, I wrote: ‘work in progress – exciting and boring at the same time.’ Yesterday, I pulled it out of the drawer. My feeling about it hasn’t changed.

I continue revisiting older works, like this textile collage from 2020 — hoping to reconnect with it soon and build on it for new pieces.

These sewn collages are from 2021. I have so many unfinished pieces waiting to be completed…

This week, I’ve spent so much time in front of the computer. I’m really looking forward to meeting my community members in tomorrow’s Zoom course. Watercolor-based color meditations are on the agenda. That’s how I intend to spiral into the weekend… #colormeditations #spiral #watercolor #wasserfarben

Ever since I saw Marta Minujín’s exhibition at Copenhagen Contemporary, I’ve been wondering: why don’t I own any neon acrylics?
