Artist’s Statement
The centre of my work is improvisation and intuition. I produce images by experimenting with and developing simple techniques. I am also educated as an artesan blacksmith so technical work and handcrafts are natural to me. Building things and working with old machines and apparata, among filmwork is a part of my artisthood.
In my work I often deal with human behaviour and the problems around this species. I deal with these themes honestly, within the boundaries of my understanding.
The rhythm of a moving image, the movement and details of an image along with constantly changing image composition intrigue me. Therefore I also produce abstract experimental animation.
The material in itself and the image sequences, the illusion of movement, the suprising outcomes and the interaction with the work in progress are the most rewarding aspects of my work as an artist.
