My work
I experiments with various materials in order to create new textures. It is very tactile and it is been touched by my hands, an approach I attaches great value. In the installations, which often are created on location, I am searching for the interaction between myself , the surroundings and the material. The process of creation and setting-up is more important for me than the ensuing result. Through this approach I gives shape to the concepts of time and decay. In the choice for material as well as in the process of creation there is a reference to the disposable culture we live in today. After working for many hours, it will be dismantled and disposed of within minutes. Just as with a performance it is only to be experienced in the moment, after which only the memory of it remains.
