Biography
I am curious about structures and how they communicate! I seek to decipher what kind of feeling/impression a structure provokes/generates when being confronted with it! This in regard of both physical/concrete structures as well as more abstract, relational structures appearing between people in different situations.
I often isolate an object or an action from it’s context, stripping it from it's original function and meaning. Through this displacement I try to reinvent the (idea of the) object, it's status and purpose. However, I do not simply replicate the existing, but rather I interpret and emphasize certain elements from it, and on this ground I make the work.
When producing my work, the process itself often becomes quite important to the final work, as more or less accidental marks become part of it, adding new value to the existing.
My work tend to appear abstract and/or minimal in it's appearance, often with an element of abjection. The works in many ways become abstract paraphrases of a deter-ritorialized action/object. The relation to the real however (be it a structure, sound, movement or the like), is always very important.
I tend to call my praxis ‘Minimal Expressionism’!
