August 23 – September 13    2025

Opening Saturday August 23 at 12-16

“I am interested in the animate nature and the relationship between the material and the transcendent. Such as how a still object, a moment or a view can have a radiance and presence, which opens up to a place beyond the object itself. An aesthetic experience of a relationship being made clear. Within the framework of this artistic search, I work with sculpture, image and installation. Realistic depictions meet materiality and concepts. The motifs are taken from my surroundings and from travel – objects, nature and landscape. In my research I read philosophy, poetry, religion and sociology.”
