What more to say? I honour tradition, and awareness. I am a slow worker; very slow. I have spent much of my time in children’s company. If you happen to read Swedish, you may want to see the page på svenska for an account of artistic experiences.

I deal with colour and form. I stand in the middle of unended tradition. I am, where the invisible and the visible touch. Grinding charcoal, cutting the membrane of an egg yolk, handling cinnabar, lapis lazuli and yellow ochre pigments; I like it.
Light is every possible colour; matter takes any attainable form; in their meeting, they shape the world.
I am, where the visible and the invisible meet and transform into one another.
Encountering future, I change the past
measuring death by life.
