ARTIST STATEMENT

I use screen printing to create site-specific projects which recontextualize information graphics. My projects create perturbations in the way we perceive our visual environment. When I work I profoundly engage myself in the architectural situation and the specific context I encounter. The result is my visual answer to this situation. It emerges gradually, starting with re-appropriating existing graphic material from around the area. As the project develops I also incorporate additional imagery formally and conceptually related, coming from a wide and increasing personal archive.The project is executed step by step, printing and painting directly on walls and windows. The whole process generally takes several weeks and can be entirely followed by the public. Almost all my projects are temporary, they disappear after the exhibition.
