My work is informed through the diversity of culture and I migrated to Australia in 1980 to Sydney from my homeland Switzerland. I lived in Sydney the early part in Australia and in the late eighties till early 2000 as a nomad moving between the two continents Europe and Australia. My art practice informed through responding by travelling, observing and listening recording the process of diversity and the movement of globalisation. I created large audio-visual projects since 1994 exhibited mainly in museums internationally. Since my work derived from travelling the work urbanized as conceptual fraction directly or indirectly as photographic research, drawings planning into sensory installation that invited the viewers to become part of the experience.
As an interdisciplinary artist and living in Adelaide since early 2000 I reflect today strongly on the years as a migrant to Australia in 1980 with the diversity of culture and the erasing of recent physical history. Paintings as a returned focus the pathways reflect the language in relation to departure the whole of human relations.
