About my art
In my image making, I strive to open up the field of view between the ugly and the beautiful, the dark and the light, between beauty and decay.
By focusing on just the intersection between these two extremes, I would try to widen gaze and see what otherwise often remains unseen.
Usually I find the motives in my everyday life, in my or in the viewer´s immediate vicinity. It may be in the building where I live, in the withered perennials in my garden or in the gallery space where the viewer stands for the moment.
Then for many years I work with photography, often in a combination with texts and in a context of visually consistent surveying. My photographies is in a context of consept and poetry either in picture suites or in installations. Very often I fokus on the light or on the abcense of light and on what you can see in allmost total darkness.
My camera is like a third eye that I use to note what I see and what I think about. I use it to materialize my thoughts of being a human in my spesific surrandings.
