The sound of biting into the resilient surface of an apple triggers a pleasurable tantalising sensation in my brain, and what follows is drizzle of juice sliding to the sides of the mouth and waking up the glands. I was eating an apple one day until I stopped and observed its shape. The new shape of the apple was created by my bites; the void shaped the new mass. Both parts of the apple exist on some level and together they create a whole. Without one the other could not exist. The work is about how time shapes everything that exists in the mind, and when looking at traces of what has passed, truth can be found. The time that hasn’t passed is speculations and possibilities. But both parts exist, creating the whole and I’m steadily eating my way.

Brevity 2019

The work consists of bubbles that a bubble-machine shoots into a slightly tilted and transparent box, size: 205 x 125 cm. I wanted the box to feel invisible and light, thus it is built from narrow oak sticks with five thin plastic walls. The bubbles are made with soap and water that work together holding air inside and forming a sphere. While a bubble exists floating in its world, it changes. The transformation is made by gravity pulling the soap in the bubble down and the water in the bubble seeking to evaporate, until the bubble vanishes. I like this micro evolution of a bubble’s life. Sometimes a bubble gets assembled with several others, resulting in a cloud of foam in the box. After some time each bubble becomes a part of the interior surface of the box. I like how the bubble’s life continues as layers and layers on the insides of the box. The inside of the box constantly and subtly changes.

Patterns out to dry

Pattern, 2021

The shape refers to a square, with two equally long sides in a 90° angle. The shape refers to a triangle, with three sides. The shape refers to a circle with a perfectly rounded line. So the shape refers to the three basic forms, and it can rotate.

Pattern 2021

My pattern is made from a very simple shape. The shape is made in process of measuring the circumference of a circle. The shape is what is left after the circle is removed from the square. The shape is therefore the void around a circle.

Flower films 2019 - Ongoing

In these video works I am thinking about nature’s endless circle of destruction and reparation. The wheat is killed in the winter and gets reborn in the summer. In the flower films I take leaves or petals off chosen vegetation; a tree, rose or a daisy, very gently and lay them on the table. Sometimes using small tongs or another tool. Applying a simple video effect I rewind the video so it looks like I am mounting the leaves on the flower. And then the video rolls like that: Leaves on, leaves off.
