Information
I work through a site- and material-driven practice with sculpture and installation and elements of text and video. My work revolves around the human relationship and approach to materials, other beings, and landscapes. In a poetic play on the border between object and body, figurative and abstract, constant and fleeting, different materials are allowed to merge seamlessly into each other. With association as a tool and space for the random, I strives to reach a place beyond the limits of my own ideas.
