Art has many faces. It is important for me to find the right expressive form for each idea and vision I whant to impart. That is why installation views, scenography, video, film and painting are gathered on my palette. Searching becomes my main activity. I often feel the paralellity to childrens intencive play. It is perhaps mankinds way of trying to find out about the big questions in life. Finding av form to the facinations, the wonderings and all the mysteries in life is in itself what drives me. The prehistoric traces of art activity and the art history inspire me to continue the line of art.
