The starting point for my artistic work in the public space lies in the character of the place and its users. The human approach and the individual’s encounter with the place is of central importance to me. I want to create an enhanced experience for visitors in relation to the site’s original expression and activities. Regardless of the visitors’ background, I want to take advantage of every individual’s curiosity and discovery desire and inspire them in their everyday lives. I strive for qualities in the works that make you want to return to discover more. My works can be place-creating and have an orientation function, both in the small and in the large context. The idea born in the meeting with the site governs material choice and technology. Manufacturing is often done in collaboration with subcontractors and consultants. Sustainability over time and safety, with a minimum of maintenance is self-evident. I am used to, and have good experiences with, working in a group of architects, contractors, users and artists.
