I use nontoxic waterbased ink that can be easlily applied and also removed or painted over. A mobile cleaning unit allows working on site. Access to clean water is needed. A flat surface is conditional.

I use print processes, mainly screen printing, to create site-specific projects without  preliminary design.  In a first step I gather existing graphic material (signs, logos, advertisements) from in and around the area. I transform this material, apply stenciling techniques or expose it on screens and print or paint it directly on walls and windows.  My working process is a search for an adequate visual answer to the specific situation and the social, political issues I encounter. Whatever visual answer I find, I discover it step by step in a process that generally takes weeks and can be followed by the public.  I start printing layers and layers of imagery, working simultaneously on different spots in a process that gradually reveals  the direction of the project. Having reached that point I start to remove large parts again, decide upon last printed additions until a final state is reached. In every project there is a combination of new and existing imagery from earlier projects, thus gradually changing my visual alphabet.
