I look at all my work as sculptural; I try to approach the various media available as possible effigies to be reflected within my practice. My work is aimed at the consideration of a ‘between world’, paused in a movement, landscape, feeling or piece of music. My work in a constant state of progression and process, the images always have the potential to grow, but they are in rest at the moment they are shown.

Additionally, abstract themes that often play a role in sculpture can be seen through the formal decisions of my work ; tension, pressure, balance, alienation and texture of the image. Romantic topics such as the sublime, the beauty of the natural, horrific and primitive interest me, but also themes such as the archive and the artist, the micro world and worlds created by artists intrigue me. Analyzing the origins of my work and their fictional surroundings is an important research topic in my artistic practice. It is a search for an unfound order in the visual creation.

My work is built up by the method of puzzling, repeating and by adding many layers. Using many different materials is therefore important when contemplating form. Often I create sculptures by literally letting them grow. By doing this, organic alien-like shapes arise, which I try to connect to reality by connecting creating contrasts in, as well material as shape. There is an interlink or unity between the space that the sculptures occupy and their position within a given location.
