During lockdown, Motherhood has become an important aspect in my work as well as interpersonal relationships and the family. Using the body and a cast of characters I am able to explore emotional and psychological mental states and their impact on the physical body. Colour and surface is a vital part of my process, in an expressionist manner the figures and their action turn into abstract forms of gestural figuration, where they can melt into a feeling or movement. Drawing from the everyday, my characters do yoga, are trapped trying to escape and liberate themselves, they laugh and cry, they are desperate, cheeky and happy, looking at german expressionism from a female perspective.

Drawing is a very important part of my work also as a process in the making. During the first lockdown last year it has helped me to make work fast in a very pressured environment where I had caring responsibilities next to the tasks of doing my Master.

My practice includes drawing, painting, printmaking and installation, as well as curatorial activities. I run two project spaces Kupfer Project which is a gallery in Hackney Central and 213 Kupfer and outdoor project that emerged during the first lockdown.
