Dear Shaded Viewers,
My ambition is to daydream. Where are the thresholds of fantasy?
Each truth is being coloured through fantasy. I try to tell stories with my sculptures.
And there is always a dualistic emotion present. For instance sad and beautiful at the same time.
I use the animals as human characters, the same as the characters of a fable or fairytale.
The work consists of real animals in combination with other materials like glass, silver, textiles and embroidery. My work is often multidisciplinary but always covers one theme or storyline. The relation between reality and fantasy is a question that I will work with for long time.
