In my artistic work, I combine my love for form and composition with the self-developed technique of ‘tape transfers’. I use pieces of regular household tape to tear fibers, shreds or fragments from old documents. This paper attached to the tape is raw material I then use to build my stories layer by layer.

I made my first ever tape collage in 1999. Since then, I have incorporated dozens of kilometers of tape into my art. I prefer to work with old magazines, sometimes more than a century old. When working with tape transfers, I allow myself to be guided by what happens to the fivers and shreds of paper of the original image when I pull off a new piece of tape. I, too, continue to be surprised.
