ABOUT ME
April 2024: I'm changing website provider and transferring my archive. Please e-mail me to be notified when everything is up and running again or recieve a portfolio.
Currently you can see some of my work in the group exhibition Lay of(f) the Land at the Swedish American Museum in Chicago until June 14th. From May 9th I will be resident artist at sculpture2052 in Singapore, working at an exhibition opening 25th May until 5th of July.
I work in painting, sculpture and often hybrids of the two. I simultaneously explore formal aesthetic interests (such as visual rhythm, composition, colour and texture) and investigate more universal and personal subjects such as perception, otherness, solitude, connection and agency. My work is often in dialogue with particular art historical works, figures, archetypes or style ideals.
I have a background in the wider visual culture field, and I still sporadically take on design or creative direction projects.
