When I came back to VCCA in the U.S. for a second artist residency in November 2024, I found an English-English dictionary. What started out as playfully looking up words (I have always had a fascination for words, and have studied English at university, too.), finally resulted in an expansion of my practice: Choosing words, selecting parts of their explanations, and adding words, allowed me to create a parallel narrative, a second voice, to complement my prints and drawings. This method mirrors my appraoch to drawing: I reduce and expand the perceived to newly imagined constellations.

The full work consists of around 40 sheets. It combines drawings, intaglio prints and text pieces that will form an artist’s book and that can also be spread out on a wall.
