From an educational background in crafts, I started to examine how human relations are connected to sites and to the wilderness. From these experiences I have developed a visual language expressing contemporary ethics and reflections. This visual language may be described as; on one hand reflective and realistic visually and practical attempts to blend and harmonize with the wilderness, a site or nature. On the other hand many of my projects have a taste for contrasts, absurdities, humor and a surrealistic view that might be experiences from an observer. I like to play with fantasies of what may be experienced or seen by a visitor at the actual site. And sometimes I fuse these fantasies in to a realistic/traditional way of working and expressing Land Art. Sometimes I leave not trace behind, except documentation with visual medias as video, photography etc.
