Biography

I am building models of everyday situations, to visualize and to clarify simple spatial phenomena.

For some time I have been interested in the simple routines carried out in the human-created environment. My models recreate rooms and buildings, often to an exact degree. By selecting not to substantially alter my reconstructions, I want to draw people’s attention to everyday situations. For example, the entrance area of an old supermarket. By entering and exiting through one of four swing doors, the customer is ushered through a uniquely formed passageway. The model allows the observer to - in a glance - take in a familiar scene. In doing so, it will make him conscious of it next time he passes through such an environment.
