My work stems from ongoing attempts to create images that go beyond the surface. The results are intentional and accidental, which offer a way to the acceptance of not knowing. These results I often combine in installations into a new and temporary order of things. A world where it is no longer about escaping, but about discovering and finding.
The materials I use for my sculptures are very diverse yet specific in nature. They speak a concrete idiom through which they suggest a clear meaning. At the same time, the way I shape the materials often leads to a moment of unsuccessful recognition. My images are specific and abstract, familiar and strange. In conjunction with each other, they form a very personal collection of form, colour and visual associations.
In a world packed with subjective knowledge, metaphors and symbols. we are constantly busy with interpreting and communicating. Nevertheless, we seem to misunderstand each other all the time. My work indicates the possibility of a free space somewhere between the things that break away from our compulsive tendency to tame the world around us, and to fix appointments and conclusions. A free space that doesn’t arise from thinking first and then act, but from acting and reacting, and then seeing.
