I don’t mind the gap.

Gallerie Jaan. 2018.

The focal point of my work with the sculptures, is the composition of incompatible materials. I am inspired by the contrasts and sensibilities of the meeting between the different materials. Heaviness and lightness. Soft and hard. Mat and glossy. I'm constantly incorporating new materials, and it's in the process of not mastering and knowing the materias, that makes room for the unexpected. The process of combining the different materials is very visible, giving the sculptures a fragile and awkward expression. It is by the mistakes, that the works comes alive. The feeling or radiance of the work, is the most important. I build and rebuild. What I do not understand with my head, but is full of life makes me happy. The drawings also revolve around the sculpture, and various elements that are put together. I play with the contrast between surfaces and 3-dimensional shapes that blur the eyes.
