“We all need a solid ground, a place to feel safe and to find stillness. This series of artworks is an expression of my experiences with my own mind, where I have created a place for you to find your solid ground, you can choose to leave something behind or to enter something new. Sculptural lines creates a surface that the eye can rest on, a surface that changes depending on the light and what you want to feel that day.”

“I need to be calm, from the inside out. Meditation is good for me, to find that creative state. I often get ideas when I am stressed and have a lot going on, or when I need to process something that has happened. But I carefully collect all ideas and make small samples, so when I find that state of mind where I am most creative, I have something to get inspired by. In the end, it may turn out completely different, but it is an important part of the process.”

“I am both fascinated and frustrated over the technique I am working with. My artworks are living their own life and I can’t decide exactly how I want them to be, but that is also the part I love most.”
“As I quite recently started to creating art, there is so many things I have not had time to discover and develop yet. But my background in pattern design and textile has played a big part of how my aesthetic expression has developed. Ever since I was little I have always created in some way, and I have worked with many different materials and techniques, always exploring new ways to work. With my artworks there were never a plan, it just came naturally and I think that gives a more genuine feeling to my work. My work is a continuous development process where I learn more about different materials. New materials gives new opportunities.”
