Research forms an essential part of my artistic practice. My work develops through a continuous dialogue between observation, reading, fieldwork, material experimentation and painting. Landscapes, patterns, plants and surfaces are not only visual phenomena, but also cultural, historical and ecological constructs that carry traces of social and political relations.

This section brings together different forms of artistic research: ongoing journal entries, field notes and studio reflections alongside more extensive texts, long-term projects and academic work. Rather than presenting research as something separate from artistic production, I understand it as a porous and evolving process that moves between theory, materiality and lived experience.

The Journal collects fragments of this process — observations from walks, notes on materials, reflections on exhibitions, readings and works in progress. These shorter texts function as an open archive of thoughts, questions and shifting connections.

Alongside these entries, the Research section also includes more comprehensive projects and publications. These range from my doctoral dissertation on the landscape-theoretical watercolours of Lucius Burckhardt to investigations into the cultural history of plant breeding and the work of Edward Steichen, as well as collaborative artistic research projects such as Eden’s Edge, which explores ecological transformation, landscape and speculative narratives. The section also contains texts on camouflage, mythology, ecology, feminism, landscape theory and the relationship between ornament, surface and space.

Many of these projects emerge slowly over several years and continue to transform through exhibitions, conversations, travel, collaborations and studio work. Research therefore appears here not as a fixed body of knowledge, but as a shifting network of relations between images, materials, places and ideas.

This archive is intended as a space for connections: between art and theory, observation and imagination, landscape and abstraction, personal experience and collective histories.
