‘Rebirth‘ shows what form the body takes in the captivity of it’s material. “I started by drawing out my own body in the fetal position, and enlarged this form into a massive-looking sculpture that crawled up from the ground and came to rest in this shape. The work seems to have solidified like lava. Because of the contours of the work, the human form seems almost invisible, and yet my own body always remains the starting point.”
This exhibition is closed. This is showing at EXbunker now:

For the past year I’ve started viewing my workspace more and more as the work itself, placing the process of working and play at the center. The surprises I encounter when I focus on the process instead of the result. The discovery instead of the conclusion. The work ‘work in progress’ uses the skip container as a starting point to explore value and desires in creating.In the EXbunker, a situation develops where the content remains changeable and the action keeps changing. Using scrap wood and objects found on the street that previously held a different purpose, I work on a space that holds balance between function and form. Everything that’s in the space is used to make the space. Here, inventive, coincidental or awkward connections continuously play a different role. Where does the act end and the work begin? Or can these two terms coexist in the same sense of the word?
