"The choreographies that I have developed untill now are made with minimal means; this given has somewhat influenced my approach to dancing, to making work, and has influenced the aesthetics."
GRAPHIC POEMS
Creativity with forms, colours, and words brings movement and poetry. It opens up depth and layers of meaning while simultaneously questioning what meaning itself can be. It can foster critical thinking, shape context, and suggest abstraction. At the same time, it is fun and playful, and its joyfulness serves this purpose as well. Inspired by contemporary art, ecological and folkloric narratives, diversity values, humanity, and civil society, its visual language is shaped by allegory, abstraction and an evocative use of colour.

The following names covers the authors cited, but does not cover all the texts embedded in the images: Elias Canetti, Jacques Derrida, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Andreas Gryphius, Chaim Potok, Rainer Maria Rilke, Friedrich Rückert, Melitta Schmideberg, Gertrude Stein, Virginia Woolf.
STEIN
Inspired by impressionism, abstract art, and typography these digital paintings depict the synergy between a physical art form, literacy and the digital age. While radically using unselected, entire pages of Getrude Stein’s The Making of Americans, Being a History of a Family’s Progress, the images might first appear as paintings, but when taking a better look, are digital images embedded with Stein’s authentic writing stirred up as though merged with the paint of a painting.

PAINTINGS
WATER LILIES
in the making
WATER LILIES is a series of paintings featuring an abstraction of a water lily motif. The motifs for the paintings are designed digitally, forming the outlines for each work. Each painting then evolves as a unique exploration of colour, form, and their associative qualities, shaping an aesthetic and meaningful composition. In this way, the centre of each painting, both in form and meaning, is left deliberately open to interpretation. The series is still in progress, and the photographs show preliminary studies.
