it appeals very much to the dream world, to recollection
and it could also somehow stimulate the imagination
in a very powerful way
and I in reality, it is perhaps a desire to create pictures
about stillness and presence
the miniature is the refuge of the great
the quality of miniatures or small things is in reality,
the concentration of of information the sharper
the diamond is ground the more beautiful the gem looks
and it is in the fact the processing of three-dimensional forms
that increases their value
there is a figure so small
that he can split a dust particle with his forehead
and step through it with his whole body
so that's pretty small right?
in a way the artist works with remnants, society's remnants
this is always the area with potential
I am a thing finder and its so extreme that every time I .. some shoes are so
badly made that they lose their labels
a kind of red thing under the shoe, in the sole
I have been finding them for ten years, each time each time I pick up one like that
because I use the as stairs
when I have enough I use them as steps
so suddenly the world is incredibly large with regard to materials
it's all about ideas
the premise right from the start has been
to collect items from the world around that are already manufactured
and take them and put them into my own contexts
and use them on the miniature level
it "mimes" something else, that you don't see at first
but which has it's origin in a completely different function
but this kind of disappears. it is dissolved
and of course there are also things that already have an age
a certain ambiance that matches this poetic universe
because I aim to generate images
that may encourage you to linger a while in them
and materials that have a certain age radiate a restraint
and a value that I feel is poetic
we are very stimulated
I think we're living in what's called "the great social epoch"
we exchange a lot
the downside is perhaps that things don't have time to mature
we are very quick to take action in all kinds of context
but art is a space reserved for a certain spontaneity
a place where you don't have answers and don't need to produce
you go back to just being
as they say, we are 'human doings' or 'human beings'
I feel attracted to the idea of just being allowed to be
I am interested in presence
and that is perhaps found more in stillness and reflection
one can speak of ... without sounding pathetic
there is actually something called ' the artist's great loneliness'
and it suits me just fine
that this place here dilapidated and worn
it seems so much more relaxed to me this is definitely my oasis
