I explore the interaction of light and space in landscape and urban environments. But portraits of women and recyclng plays a major role in my portefolio f. inst. the interdisciplinary story of ‘Quilts & Portraits from Kutch’, 1999, made with love and respect for a talented group of women in the Westernmost part of India. And Immigrante, 2010, a portrait of my late French amie, Marianne. In the latter it has been my wish that images and statements reinforce each other to draw a picture of the destiny of a Eurpean woman of the twentieth century as a contribution to the on-going debate on immigration.
I often work in thematic series where intuition, observation, movement and atmosphere are part of the process. By tapping into photopolymer gravure I transform my own photographs into narratives by means of monoprints, chine collé, text, dremel tools and papers in a folded, knitted or stitched version. It all depends on the message I wish to convey. I find joy and inspiration working with the printing plates, the ink and the printing press thus combining old and contemporary methods.
My artistic pursuit is based upon 17 years of close cooperation with Copenhagen printmaker artist, Bjarne Agerbo, Atelier Agerbo, The Graphic Experimentarium , Copenhagen, several artist residencies and ICP International Center of Photography in NYC.
I have exhibited on a regular basis since 1997 in independent shows and in larger juried, curated exhibitions in Denmark and abroad like the Round Tower, Copenhagen, 2004, The Rohsska Museum, Gothenburg, 2006, The International Print Triennial, Krakow, 2013, The Luciano Benetton Collection, 2015, and The Internal Artistbook Triennial Vilnius 2015, 2018 and now again in 2024.
My work is in museums, institutional art collections and private collections. I hold a membership of the Association of Danish Graphic Artists and The Danish Visual Artists Association. I am represented at Christoffer Egelund Gallery, Copenhagen and Galleri5000 in Odense. But feel free to contact me.
