Artists’ statement – biography







As approaching a new project I always reflect on the question - how do we relate to Nature and what does Nature means to us? I use thoughts and feelings we have developed around the topic “Nature” and chose a stand point where Nature is valued in a certain way. From that standpoint I start the practical aesthetical journey.

In later years I also work with education and art in nature. I believe that human conditions for survival are depending on how we relate to the environment and I use art as a medium to evoke questions and impulses to reflect on this.
