You shall not believe you are something.
You shall not believe you are as much as we are.
You shall not imagine you are better than us.
You shall not believe you are any good at anything.
You shall not laugh at us.
You shall not believe anyone cares about you.
You shall not believe you can teach us anything.
(Extracts from the Jante Law/ Aksel Sandemose, 1933. Translated into English using both the original Norwegian text and the Finnish translation of 1997 by Rauno Ekholm as source texts.)
The sculptures and serigraphs on display are portraits forming a self-portrait.
My works have been influenced by my mother and father, and their mothers and fathers.
