Artist Statement
The centuries-old art form of etching printing is my time machine. Here, I can step out of this ever-changing digital world and enter the stillness of the analog land.
Currently I am exploring the properties of the golden ratio, not only as a layout aid but also as the subject of my stories. In the latest series, the Traveller journeys through surreal landscapes and arrives at a town where everything is in harmony, the streets, the buildings and monuments all respect the Divine proportions.
