“Language is the instrument we, as humans, use to make sense of the world. And in my view it’s an important instrument in finding grip. I am a writer and visual artist that works from a personal fascination for how language works and how language takes shape in more than just ‘text’. I prefer to work outside and figure out how daily reality meets imagination. Lately I see in my paintings something emerging that wants to get out of something and something that is simultaneously locked up by the very same thing [itself]. Paint becomes the earth’s crust. The water level is rising. Everything swirls. Through my performative installations with paintings, textiles and stories I look for meaning and ways to ‘hold on’.”
