Artist statement: Objects, places and events that occur in separate times and places can coexist psychologically. This coexistence can be reconciled with photographs, which, although normally fixed to particular times, locations and stories, are nevertheless able to travel, in boxes, or as mind images on overlapping currents.
I return to places of imaginative influence: to my grandmother’s house in the Russian countryside and my parents’ home in Germany. Here I rephotograph images from my current life with the layers of objects I discover. The fictional and non-fictional, the truth and the truthfully imagined are entangled by the perspectival image.

Also known as Giclee prints or bubble-jet prints, pigment ink-jet prints are generated by computer printers from digital or scanned files using dye-based or pigment-based inks. A series of nozzles spray tiny droplets of ink onto the paper surface in a precise pattern that corresponds to the digital image file. In dye-based prints the ink soaks into the paper, whereas in pigment-based prints the ink rests and dries on top of the paper surface.
Whilst the term is broad, pigment ink-jet prints have come to be associated with prints produced on fine art papers. They are the most versatile and archival method of printing available to photographers today. A wide variety of material on which an image can be printed with such inks are available, including various textures and finishes such as matte photo paper, watercolour paper, cotton canvas or pre-coated canvas.
