Microscopic studies have accompanied my practice for many years, and they are the point of departure for this series too. In the drawings I work with the structures, dynamics, and transformations of organic systems and gain from them a visual language of my own. During my artist residency 2025/26 at Viadukt these grew into screenprints: an expanded space in which the elements overlap, shift, and reconnect.

The exhibition shows original screenprints only, each hand-coloured.

Curator and writer Simon Rees put it well:

“She reveals the inner life of what to us looks clear and clean.”
