Participation in exhibitions:

 

In 2016 and 2015  I made several large-scale works for exhibitions and OpenAir projects. The transfer from a small scale to a space-filling scale is a very exciting process. I observe changes in the work and in the viewer. The view on the work becomes a completely new one.
