silkscreen folding screen

Here is another item from a little while ago. These some are detail shots from my thesis project at HfG Offenbach. Basically, it is a folding screen with devided surfaces. Each compartment grafic illustrations that I silkscreen printed on canvas.







Here I am taking the folding screen to Berlin in order to get critique from my professor ATAK. In this foto, I am changing the metro at Alexanderplatz.

Here are some pieces during the process:

winning the illust_ratio award

It happened already last year, but here I'd like to show, what is sitting on my shelf since then:

Last year in fall, I had the opportunity to participate in a week-long workshop together with young illustrators from Offenbach and Halle. The subject of the illust_ratio workshop was the city of Rüsselsheim with its manifold character. Here is part of my series of 12 drawings that I submitted. Licht an/Turn on the lights is the title.

The trophy for the 1st price is the above sculpture looking like the illustrator Bengt Fosshag.
It was designed by artist Birgid Helmy.
Find all winning contributions on the illustratio website.

Here are some photos of another installation series of mine using desk lamps found in the trash.


Also look for work by other participants Lena Schrieb, Martin Stark, Asja Wiegand and Nadine Kolodziey from Offenbach and Stefanie Leinhos, Tim Romanowsky, Tobias Jakob, Hannes Hirche, Christina Röckl and Julia Weller from Halle.
