Artist Statement
My work is inspired by my life, personal experiences and impressions. I try to give form to these inner aspects and emotions in my work to find a new dialogue beyond them. I understand my sculptures as intuitive drawings in space. In my working process I look for a possibility of further development and expansion beyond the purely visual or narrative level. The outer appearance of each of my objects is the equivalent for an aspect of this human inner life.
In my work I deal with fundamental questions about the emergence of identity, social and socio-political contexts and dynamics. What interests me is what it means to be human.Interview with Paula Watzl, Parnass, 2022

,,EDEN - a place of longing in dystopian times".
Eros as an antidote to numbness, decay and emptiness: Eden invites us to go in search of Eros within ourselves. In a time of isolation, distance and fragmentation, it is the lust for life that serves us as both anchor and energiser for the new. EDEN is an ode to the power of life, sensuality and joy.
