Artist Statement:

Since my time as an MFA student at the Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien, addressing both my own personal financial situation as well as the larger structures of consumerism and the role of money has been extremely important within my artistic production. For about a year during my studies, I refused to spend more than €20 on each work I made. Currently, my works consider the thin line of balancing an unsuccessful commercial artistic career and the need to work any available job to be able to finance that art, attempting to continue artmaking regardless of my financial situation. In this portfolio, I have included my recent work and outlines for potential future projects, both of which deal primarily with labor, theft, consumerism, job-related depression, capitalism, and the art market.
