Artist’s Statement

Throughout my career, I have been interested in different ways of interpreting and presenting drawing. In recent years, I have worked closely with movement-based drawing. In my work, I combine photography, moving image and sculptural elements. I am fascinated by the idea of transferring movement into the form of a artwork. I also incorporate different weather phenomena and landscape in my work.

Drawing is at its best when it escapes from the paper.
