My paintings and installations are gushing material splashes. Paintings flow overboard accompanied by found objects and installations bulge 360 degrees. I use mass and quantity side by side with thin layers and delicate objects looking for movement and abundancy. The feeling of wedding, filth, extravagance, organic, wonderfulness, space junk and
disgust are combined in my works. My works are today.
It´s important that there is a good rhythm in a work of art and in the whole display. My works are like Morse except the marks are for example ball, cucumber, wipe, rose, stick, feeling, tinsel, trash and straw. The abstract expression is important to me because the shapes are simplified and you are looking at a more stripped rhythm. The figurative elements are
not there disturbing and creating meanings. I´m fascinated by how a found object loses its content near a strong abstraction. Still figurative expression is important to me also, but it´s interesting to slip the meaning on and off of the object. I use both of the ways of expression in my works separately and in different kinds of fusions.
