The artist bases her work on pictures distributed by the media in magazines, books and the internet, out of which she has been steadily building up a selective but complex archive. She crystallizes an occasion to paint through repeated looking, sighting, and testing, with only details or excerpts finding their way onto the canvas. By combining empty spaces and the layer by layer transfiguration of the painted object, the artist brings to the fore what otherwise lies hidden. For example, the dirt between the canvas and frame—that which reduces the value of a work of art—is made the motif of one of her works and thus transfigured into its opposite, glory and fame.

The artist beds her fragmentary pictures, which hover between figuration and abstraction, in installations with floor pieces, objects, and precision-staged suspended objects, thus intensifying and expanding the discursive and conceptual painterly examination of pictures and issues of economy and art history.
