The overall theme of my work is how aspects of perception can be expressed through the figure, as perception is a central and unique feature of all living beings.
My work is framed by questions such as how, for instance, impressions are turned into thoughts and inner mental pictures, how individuals are influenced and shaped by their experiences and vice versa and how this gives them a unique outlook to the world
The subjectivity of the theme results in a constant exploration of how my personal daily impressions are processed, linked and merged with previous experiences, ideas and memories in the mind. These new clusters of ideas are then transformed into individual figures.
In my recent work I have moved from the medium of collage towards a more three dimensional, relief-like approach, to fully explore how material can become part of the narrative of an image.
I am interested in how the process of an ongoing cycle of perceptions continues through the viewers, who bring the figure to life by adding their own associations and ideas.
