UNDER CONSTRUCTION
about my art
It is important that my work contains a vibrant energy.
Of sorts.
I want to capture that which initiates or completes.
The critical moment before the explicit outcome of a decision is possible to ascertain. I want to leave room for a great deal of ambivalence in the spectator. We don´t always make it easy on ourselves. But we communicate. Somehow. Autonomous from spatial realities.
Art as interactive speech bubbles.
I want to pose questions, I don´t provide answers.
I adore the beauty of the uncouth and the slightly crude.
I guess that´s why the knife is my tool when painting. I find knives easy to control and I love the sharpness, the edginess of it´s proceedings within the texture of the paint.
To control it I have to hold my breath, so we´re both under an equal amount of pressure.
Truce as a artform.
When photographing or making shortfilms, I pretty much behave in the same way, I dont look for absolute cleanliness. I want a certain amount of edge to remain.
To cause some trouble.
To stir something.
