"chamberworks" the title which the artist gives her work represents also the "Leitmotiv" of her work and through the context of private performance (chamberworks) its significance is effectively doubled. Emphasis is given to the intimacy of locus, artist / performer and audience. Within this frame a slow, silent, but vital affinity with history in terms of “space and time” begins manifested as a form of (art) happening.

"..... their unique qualities, having once been placed in space, can only be delicately teased out through a deep inner dialogue with and through the accumulation of "time and space constants".

The artist_performer listens to the words of the "Inner" and the "Outer", and then the "ALL" is expressed through "the One and the Multiple" where "innumerable fields of innumerable images" reveal themselves to become approachable for both herself and the audience.....".
