Residing and working primarily in Vienna, Austria, I am an interdisciplinary artist merging painting, drawing, music, fiber art, poetry, prose, sound, video, and illustration. As a recording artist, songwriter and performer, I have released work as Paper Bird (2006 - 2011) and Squalloscope (2011 - present). I am one half of the band Twin Tooth (with Jan Preißler), as well as one half of songwriting duo Squalloscope & Andy the Doorbum.
Utilizing visual arts, writing, and music in equal measures, my work lies in creating an expansive narrative universe highly influenced by folklore, the politics of belonging, the intricacies of language, light, and color, sensory overload, inhabiting an autistic body, and the depths of human yearning.
