​Artist statement

Based on intensely personal events that have influenced my life, my interest lies in the philosophical premise of the fragile human condition and the attempt for us as human beings to overcome feelings of fragility and  insignificance. I consider the importance and relevance of existence on a personal level, not only from a migrants point of view in one place or another, but more so in an existential sense. The aim of my studio practice is to communicate the metaphysical notion of human existential significance or lack thereof  and to  translate this into three-dimensional form. 
Photography is regularly used as a supportive medium and to document work done in the field.



There is, of course, the work of one very talented sculptor, Marika Osmotherly, within this group, which I highly recommend, and the concept of the “slow read” is as fitting for sculpture as it is for painting.
