Artist Statement


(1) I am a post-minimalist and post-conceptual sculptor and media artist drawing from a vast variety of media and artistic practices. To cross boundaries has proven to be typical for my artistic practice over the years in its attempt to explore and bridge diversity in media, technology, and the arts.

(2) I believe in the power of art; rather than in decoration. I think art continually has to find new imagery for the time we live in. For the conditions and issues we deal with: existentially, politically, physically, and globally. Searching such images is what I am aiming for.

(3) My artistic work is often based on participation or embedded in local communities. I believe in an intriguing encounter between art producers and the public. To embrace education is a rewarding way to expand our creativity. Audiences can make us learn better, and see things we would not have known of. I understand both, intelligence and creativity to be profoundly social.
