Featured work
Selected works, 2018-2020
My work is based on rhythmic repetitions and combinations of unique, three dimensional nonfigurative objects. I find my inspiration in natures’ many systems and structures, from the animal kingdom to architecture. Different systems are composed of a variety of unique components, carefully arranged to avoid total chaos. This I find fascinating. The individual objects are autonomous, but also a part of a greater whole. I consider my work to be abstract interpretations of reality.
