Artist Association MUU

I find that the process itself is the most fascinating part of the artists work. The way an internal image is transformed into something that can be sensed, and what takes place after that. The internal images live in the enormous gallery of the mind of a tiny human being.

Emotions and thoughts are connected with action. This influences our lives every moment. When performing I never follow any pre-existing detailed plan. I create a framework for the performance.

The life of my simplified identity is projected as an image of a multilayered process. The images grow out of each other. The tensions, possibilities and risks within the images remove the barriers of existence.
