ARTIST STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

“My artistic work often deals with collected or found objects.<\/p>\n

These items can raise visions and questions and lead to a process of research, contemplation, daydreaming, reflection or simply play the role as materia or inspiration for my projects. I deal with personal and universal matters and history, reflecting life and phenomena around us, dealing with\u00a0both social and political topics in an indicating, subtle mode.
\nLately I have also used the matter of chance as a working tool, which has lead to opening up surprising and new worlds.<\/p>\n

I enjoy keeping myself free to work in different media, letting the matter of subject affect the visual direction that I come to use. The process of finding visual and material solutions for these questions is an important part of my work.
\nI started my carrier\u00a0as a painter but during the last ten years I have mostly worked with installations and short films.”<\/p>\n
