"My drawings are determined chronologically based on what has been drawn before, and they revolve around place associated with memory and time. From an autobiographical perspective, my drawings replace writing in a kind of documentation of where I’ve been, and where I want to be. There, time stands still and the place is immortalised. People are either absent, on temporary visits elsewhere, or hidden underground. Moments in empty landscapes or populated details are used as a kind of processing in the search for origin and belonging. I often turn to charcoal, which is good at conveying the dreamy, playful feeling I strive for.

I choose places or subjects based on how they interact with the material, and reality and fantasy/dreams are combined via the flow of images. I’m interested in taking real images as my starting point and unfolding new landscapes where, for example, a tree can become a cloud and a cloud can become foam on a freshly mopped floor."
