The evidence of time passing in the ever changing light of the sky above us, the grand expansion of our physical and inner worlds, the lingering atmosphere between spaces and places, have ephemeral and ungraspable elements that have been fascinating me for years.
Through drawing, printing, collage, poetry, performance. light- and sound installations I am always in search for the abstract within the familiar and the familiar within the abstract. Guided by ideas and concepts, I see my artistic practice as a way to carve out space for the sometimes unexplainable or untouchable bits of our human existence.
