She works with text, readings, drawings and installation. Her writing is intensely connected to her art practice. She considers herself a storyteller and her drawings a way to tell a story in less time. She writes fiction in order to rearrange her grasp on reality. This can result in strange, sometimes bizarre scenarios. Every now and again, the more extraordinary visual elements of her stories renounce their status as printed matter and manifest themselves in drawings. Or in three-dimensional space \u0026ndash;for example in the plump, tactile sculptures that have become an ever-growing part of her household.

Ze werkt met tekst, lezingen, tekeningen en installaties. Haar teksten zijn nauw verbonden aan haar kunstpraktijk. Ze beschouwt zichzelf als een verhalenverteller en haar tekeningen als ene manier om een verhaal in minder tijd te vertellen. Ze schrijft fictie om greep op de werkelijkheid te krijgen. Dat kan leiden tot vreemde, soms bizarre scenario\u0026rsquo;s. Regelmatig doen de meer buitensporige beeldende elementen van haar verhalen afstand van hun status als tekst en manifesteren ze zichzelf in tekeningen. Of in driedimensionele ruimte, zoals in de dikke, tactiele sculpturen die een steeds grotere ruimte in haar huishouden in beslag nemen.
