Installation titled The Ecosystem by the Pond in the Forest. The Creature in Human Mask says: ”If I wear a mask so that I look like you – And if I learn how to speak the same language as you – If I watch you and learn how to move like you – If I become like you as much as I can – Then will you let me live?”
”… it is not without reason one says that to understand is to see fantasy creatures, and understanding is fantasy.”
Italian Renaissance philosopher
Giordano Bruno
”Using painting and sculpture and combinations of both I make artistic installations consisting of colourful, interactive objects. The fantasy creatures in these scenes start talking to me while I create them. Our conversations become dialogues, stories, fables and poems. The texts carry more darkness, maybe to balance and give weight to the colorful installations, and are presented so they cannot be easily seen. The audience has to look for them and make an active decision whether to take part of them or not.”
