ABOUT MY WORK

My work has stone as a pivot point.

Geological time and phenomena are the overarching theme, with underlying references to art history.

By processing the stone material I collect through detailed casts, the stone goes from original to copy. The stone cast archives the stone in a now. Gypsum stone has become the starting point for all my works.

I constantly relate to what the stones symbolize beyond their materiality.

The works are created with inspiration from geological formations, phenomena and time. The sculptures can be seen as adjustments and interpretations of my external and internal surroundings in the light (or shadow) of dark ecology.

The aspects of the works should be able to point to the extremes of the stones' life, from the fragment to the monumental mountain ranges. An underlying motivation is the desire for the works to be able to point to the formidable distance in time between the stone and human; because the stone contains a time without an identifiable end point?

Until now, the photograph has been a tool for reaching nuances in the sculpture that I otherwise would not have been able to grasp. Via the section, the photo has manipulated scale and pointed out new landscapes, which are not geographically located. The photos are able to isolate the sculptures in a space and in a time, without a specific reference point. Here, the fragment can appear as something monumental, the mountain. The section should be able to indicate an interpretation of sculpture as geologists interpret stone, a kind of visual information observation.
