Artist’s Statement
I use a variety of techniques and materials. I´m eager to learn new
techniques and use recycled materials.
The technique is not an end in itself but a means to achieve the desired outcome.
My toolbox is dear to me.
I have made tapestries, sculptures, paintings, designed a
guitar amplifier and much more.
I often use slow techniques. It feels good to make the impossible possible.
It is essential and enjoyable for me to make artworks by hand.
Politics, state of the environment, empathy and humour are important things for me, and the reason to do this job.
