Bear with me
There are three ceramic bears that look nearly exactly alike. Hereby I question the status of authenticity by the practice of handmade reproduction. The handcrafted (false) seam on the sides suggests the industrial fabrication of two joint parts. Hereby the fake/real and copy/authentic collapse.
The Precarity of Dreams
Blue glass (roof) panels installed on wooden construction. As part of the Between the Dirt and Clouds installation. Rooftiles traditionally form a distinctive and protective skin separating the private from the outer realm. In this work I re-think rooftiles as a desire for connection. To feel safe in relation to the world in- and outside. To have a space to look up where dreams exist. Not as escape, but charged with a sense of belonging. The blue wave-like panels move between the inner and outer realm, the elemental and the dreamlike. Forming a fragile and flowing connection between the Dirt and the Clouds.
All angles at once
Two seven point stars made from ceramics installed with a magnetic pin on the wall on which it reflects an orange glow. Traditionally the 7 point star is a highly charched symbol connecting the spiritual and the earth. While an actual star does not have corners or sides, I find it interesting how we think of diffracted light as an object having a shape with an outline. There is a cognitive abstraction at play in the formation of these concepts that in turn influences pereception. In this work the orange glow is questioning with a sense of playfulness where the boundaries of an object begins and ends.

Monsters - A Category of Crisis
BA Fine Art Thesis presented in ceramic sleeve.
Timelapse
The photo is a documentation of a relational embodiment practice of time and movement. Hereby I layed horizontally - face down - in the field and spiraled clockwords in a circle with my belly button forming the central axis. The practice lasted untill the burning grass and exaustion took over (18 minutes).
The Flux installation 2024
An installation of ceramic objects, photographs, painting series and a wall object.
The Fold
Ceramic on black velt and steel frame. The ceramic work is part of a series where I experiment with making time and movement physically present in a fixated momentum. Resembling a quiet moment of transition or a slow unraveling below the surface.
A Graphic Novel approach
Paint on cut-out pieces of satin paper on steel bar. This work was an experiment on slicing time and movement as transitional moments into linear and sequential paintings.
