Some people say I make conceptual art. My work studies the role of machine-made images in contemporary communication. I use documentary photography, screenshots and image generation as a starting point for handmade objects. They are presented as artist’s books, collage, printed graphics, or paintings. Shared themes include fiction, imagination, and illusion.
