"This work was mostly made during the past two years. When I look at it, I am surprised how gentle and playful it is.
I worked a lot with sculpture, which is a relatively new part of my work, in this time. I enjoy the physical contact with wax and the very direct way a figure evolves. Sculpting a figure seems so much more straightforward than drawing it.
In my drawings and paintings, what has become more important, is the space between the figures. It is bigger now. In my earlier work the figure filled most of the space. It seems that my sculptural work has influenced this development.
I work from images from an inner source, dreams and daydreams. I supplement this ÒsourceÓ by reading poetry or fairy tales. I also work from ÒfoundÓ images, film stills, old photographs, folk or prehistoric art.
My work is personal but not so much autobiographical. Rather I use bits and pieces of experienced situations, feelings, etc. and put them together in a new way.
