Artist Statement
“A work of art doesn’t have to be explained. If you do not have any feeling about this, I cannot explain it to you. If this doesn’t touch you, I have failed.” – Louise Bourgeois
This quote by Louise Bourgeois, describes the thread of consistency in my art practice. I wish to find a way to affect the viewer’s emotions. Working to connect with the viewers body, my pieces plays upon the devices of seduction and disruption to produce a series of bodily reactions.
In my practice I mainly work with installation and sculptures that embodies non-recognizable forms. I use non-traditional ways of dealing with the materials and enjoy developing and exploring my own techniques. The sense of touch and the tactile quality of the material are important components when I try to enhance the viewer’s sense of presence with my pieces.
My work can appear as dreamlike expressions in which fiction and reality meet - meanings shift, past and present fuse while time and memory always play a key role. I invite the viewer to investigate and set their imagination in motion, to explore, to embody, to re-imagine, and re-feel.
