Artist statement
- Åpent atelier søn 24.september 2023 -
I am an artist that builds installations and shapes in ceramics. I like to put figures together to see how they react to each others various expressions when they enter each other`s space, and that becomes an ongoing path I follow working towards a theme that arise presenting itself. Like a small theatre. I am not a charlatan, my work is caused by art, that I build up on and combine. Some times over many years in different layers and returning circuits. Like a storyteller of a fairy tale
