Sculptures

Through my education, I am characterized by the three-dimensional thinking, and I actually think of sculpture in my two-dimensional works as well. I want to bring the tangible, the material and the shape to a large extent into my paintings. Usually I start from a found shape or make a sculpture that I, through photo documentation, transform into "new" images. Sometimes focusing on something in my paintings, highlighting it and translating it into a three-dimensional form gives me a more concrete experience of what I want to achieve in the painting, as the sculpture itself is more defined than the painting. An interaction between its two media is important in my work.
