Text and letterings from newspapers and magazines are the initial point for my works (collages). With a blade I cut the lines into very small strips. All this strips I put together in a new way, to form new letters and characters. A new writting is formed. From the destruction arises something new. The new writting seems for the observer of my works at first view readably and understandable. But the original form and statement  exist no longer. They have changed. The perception and sense are questioned (challenged). During the further procedur splits, holes and circels are formed and the visuell picture is transformed to a new „text“ and tells a new own  story.
