I’ve always painted and drawn. The line, colour, rhythm and shape still make me dizzy. In sculpture, all this is combined in the play of lines, volumes and the shape and roughness of the surface. I rest in clay, sculpture, graphics and challenge myself in painting … I am interested in how simple shapes and gestalts that we all can relate to, for example ”the house / settlement”, ”the person / child” and ”the animal / the creature” can express different states and moods.

Graphics
Gravure printing techniques such as etchings, dry points and collography provide opportunities to see and imagine the worlds and the beings of fantasy and fairy tale. Here I can rest in the craftsmanship and comfort and calm myself by telling stories about small friendships and fairy pageant …

Sculpture comes closest to my heart – including small tales in clay and larger works that interact with the surroundings.
It is a balance to exist, to stand steady, to resist, to be lifted up or weighted down. We all take our place in the world and together create it with our lives and bodies. By filling in gaps and searching for the various traces that human experience entails, sculpture also becomes an existential exploration. The seemingly simple figure can raise questions – what do you carry with you, who are you, who am I, what do we become together? What is a human being?
