Picture of a room
6.7-29.7. 2012
In my works I tend to seek a dialogue with the surrounding space. A three-dimensional piece will of course always occupy the room it is placed in. Beyond this spatial feature I otherwise attempt to deal with the space and the object. I want to point out the apparent obviousness of our surroundings and in that way question conventional ways of looking and observing. By dealing with elements of a room or by creating a gesture in the form of a sculpture I impact the experiencing of the space.
My sculpting method is crocheting. It is a straightforward and declarative way of dealing with the world. The works get their essence through slowness, laboriousness, softness and continuance. All the foregoing are a form of presence - of the work, time, material, myself and the viewers simultaneously.
