My artistic endeavor is to bring attention, or to visualize,
that which is invisible or in my opinion neglected. In my work I
question the notion of seeing and the eyes as passive recipients
of ambient light. I argue that seeing is about being an active observer,
to merely watch one will not notice. In my work I highlight the
subtle with the intention to bring attention and encourage the viewer
to look beyond the already known, and pay attention to an aspect
of life, which is not regarded as important.
I work with installations using ephemeral or fragile
materials, which I believe endorse the visualization of the invisible.
I work in galleries but mostly in found spaces where
I find inspiration in the atmosphere of the space. I respond to
the environment intuitively, on a subliminal level. My process of
working is a journey of discovery, reflection and recognition and
my experience becomes part of the installation. While I regard my
installations as investigations into a particular concern at the
time, I often find myself trying to capture a passing moment, or
the fleeting time in what is obviously an impossible task. However,
my artwork is catching a residue of that moment and comments on
the fact that our lives are a continuous race against time. I attempt
to create a quiet space away from the busy schedule, where people
can engage in thought and hopefully recognize a new discovery.
