About The Artwork
For every woven artwork I usually produce two paintings, mostly oil on canvas. Once the paintings are done, I cut them into stripes. During the whole process I have to be very precise, there is little margin for errors. People often ask me if it is difficult (mentally) to cut the paintings, and yes, it is, especially the first cut. It feels like you have to close your eyes and count to three and then cut. After the first cut it gets easier; it has already become irreversible and you have no other choice than moving on with it. And also, you know that cutting the paintings is not a destructive act, but a productive one. The last part is the weaving which is very exciting because no matter how thoroughly you thought about the outcome, it is also always a little bit unpredictable. If all the pieces come together and they fit, it is very rewarding.

Switzerland
Born 1983 and raised in a mountain village in Switzerland. Currently living in Zurich. I am primarily a painter. But some time ago, I began cutting the paintings before weaving them into each other. My work reflects on the thought patterns in which the human being perceives its surroundings. When we look at the world, we never see it in its entirety, we give more importance to certain details while blocking out others. Our perception is very selective and fragmented. But still, in our minds we build it up to a seemingly whole picture or narrative. What results is not the reality, but a wonderful image of reality, fragmented, but still perfectly accomplished in its own right. My work is an expression of this process.
