BIO

I am a ceramic artist living in Göteborg where I share a studio with 6 colleagues at Sockerbruket, an old brewery now inhabited by artists and small business.

My work material is porcelain mixed with paper, which I tuck and build my pieces from.

I see my ceramic works as abstract and schematic persons or creatures. To me they are individuals in their own right and at the same time subjective aspects of a diverse and rich reality.

I often carve out holes in my pieces to open them up for one another and for the world around them and sometimes these holes resemble symbolic eyes, mouths or ears.  I am interested in how we can relate to them and how they can relate to each other. 

So many creatures need living-space on earth. I would like to upvalue subjective encounters as a means of transformation and change and of building a future. 

The objective, the measurable aspects are necessary but in some sense they are outside of ourselves and tell a story which we are not necessarily a part of.

Relating to subjective aspects demands something else from us, another story.

I got my education at Capellagården on the island of Öland.
