My artistic practice revolves around consciousness. How can consciousness be observed and sensed from a form-perspective? I translate bodily and energetic appearances of consciousness through inner sensation, and document these in form. My works end up as a map of these recordings.

Consciousness is a phenomenon that is actively present all throughout human life, from birth to death. The total human consciousness  is a system of many different states, each with their own memory.

Consciousness can be seen as a thread like network, both in the individual and in between things in the world. In continuation to this, I am occupied with materiality, network-structures, negative spaces, textures, density.

Sometimes things float and merge in and out of each other without really being divided or clearly defined. There is a thread-like substance that connects objects and creatures. I paint semi-abstract and immediate energy figures with watery brushstrokes or in clay, and occasionally place them alone or together in groups, in a larger narrative of inner psychic landscapes, that is normally hidden away in our otherwise very rational, linear approach to the world.

The experiment is a premise in my work. I work in many different materials ranging from text, collage, drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics and installation.
