About
I have always felt an urge to give feelings a physical form, a body outside of mine. I’m looking at my own body and examining how it can, with, movements, express a feeling. Where lies the importance? Which wrinkle, (tense) muscle or movements says something about the feeling going on inside?
A feeling can be complex, incongruous and volatile. I want to make it visible, physical.
Through experiments with materials I find many of my ideas and results. I have found various ways to form the glass using steel mesh as a mold. The mesh gives structure and colour to the glass. The glass becomes the body and the mesh its skin.
I have my studio in Stockholm, holds a BFA in Ceramic and Glass from Konstfack – University of Arts, Crafts and Design, Stockholm. Since my years at Konstfack I have spent time as artist-in-residence in S12 Gallery, (Bergen, Norway ) at The glass Factory (Boda, Sweden), worked in collaboration with Cervera, Baum und pferdgarten and exhibited around Sweden.
