  • About

    This work deals with fear of changes to the outside world, such as war, climate change, natural disasters, crime, violence, and disease. These things threaten our way of life and, by extension, make it impossible to maintain who we are. Fear is the dark side of desire. The desire to break out of our alienation and become one with something outside our closed minds is also what we fear the most—to lose ourselves and our subjective position.

    It is also part of the diptych #545 Fear of Change. Perhaps it is primarily relevant to the privileged, but even marginalised and oppressed groups sometimes cling to the status quo in fear of losing whatever foothold they have. Furthermore, I believe it is part of the human condition.

  • Spread

    Spread is a compilation of work made by spreading the filler along the depth of the rim with a scrape. Letting a single action shape the work is reminiscent of Richard Serra's Verb List. It functioned as a kind of manifest for Serra's way of producing sculptures. To spread is on the list. It´s about making art by exposing a matter to different kinds of forces.

  • Press

    Press is a compilation of works made by pressing down the filler with a horizontal plane, thus expanding it outwards.
    Reminiscent of Richard Serra's Verb List, I try to use simple and clearly defined actions to shape the filler in my works. This way, there are always non-cognitive aspects of the production process.
