The intended miss-en-scène has been an important component of her art work. Having started with photographical art, for the last years she has focused on shoe sculptures and assemblages, and turned to a surrealistic way of working. "I just need to assemble the pictures and thoughts of my consciousness and my subconsciousness to create a new vision and a new way to see", the artist says. As Christoph Lichtenberg said: " He, who has eyes to see, sees everything in everything."
Research as well as the study of particular topics play important roles in the artistic realisation: to deal with a topic - to eviscerate, to mangle, and to transform to achieve a new insight. Vieles criticism with a touch of irony is intended.
