Artist’s Statement

I am a painter. My technique is acrylic and charcoal on linen, also acrylic and pencil on paper.
My paintings tell about time and memories, how we remember things and places - and our own lives. What I remember and why am I forgetting.
I also combine other techniques in my works like sewing.
I make spatial works of paper and threads. Reuse and combining of works and materials is an important part of the work.
