2 Lineated Luminary (in progress) 99 x 99 cm. / 198 x 198 cm Stinging nettles, Robinia wood, Roofing lead, cyanotype A series of tapestries woven of fibres of stinging nettles. A photo-sensitive mixture of iron salts is being sprayed onto the tapestries and the UV-light of the full moon reacts with it. Everything that falls on the tapestry during the night leaves an impression on the otherwise cyan surface.

Close horizon 2015-2016 Tied nylonnets, roses metal Hights between 70 and 140 cm Widths between 50 and 105 cm.

9 Close horizon Tied nylonnets, roses metal Hights between 70 and 140 cm Widths between 50 and 105 cm. 7 Objekts Close horizon consists of knotted nylon nets onto which a large amount of Roses metal (an alloy with a melting point of 98 ) has been melted. On a western slope the nets are placed on stands just before sunset. A fresnel-lens magnifying glass catches the sunset and concentrates it onto the metal, which is placed in a wide funnel-shaped container, above the net. The metal melts onto/mixes itself with the net.

14 Detach/adjust/connect Wood, extracted resin, grinded coal Height between 104 and 210 cm. 24 Objects Trees have been cut down and sliced up. I burned parts of the wood and grinded the coal into dust. I withdrew resin from the living trees before cutting them down. The coal dust cooked with the resin makes a natural wood glue with which I force the slices together.
