What I Do

Current Project: Living Images, in Portfolio.

My artistic research explores my relationship with microbes and how environment is affected by my actions. I also study the perishableness and disappearance of matter.

I produce living images with raster images, uv-light and yeast. After exposure (aprx. 48h) I photograph the outcome.
