Sculptures as neologisms; the environment rethought and rearranged into a sculptural language wherein 'dailyness' supplies the characters, the undertone. Everydayness is the starting point, the medium, through objects with renewed meaning are conceived. A constant reordering and reclassifying of our environment, and our attitude towards it. Through the assemblage of these tensed materials, new forms of experience are made possible; a   parallel sculptural reality is created.

At some points the material is forgotten, and at others it is stuffed with connotations. Thanks to the composition they get renewed attention. This sense of attention doesn't have to stop as soon as the piece is out of sight, but should be carried out into the everyday experience. The ordinary is uplifted, and different ways of viewing and using our context are proved possible.

The handling of the material refers to a sense of sensuality in relation to reality. This results into works on which you can follow the process of making through the traces left on them. While sculpting or drawing one is in a state of "meditative playing", comparable to the way a child plays to learn its place in the world. It's a very serious game that allows to become acquainted with the environment, and also makes conscious of how one relates to this given reality; or how it's supposed to be.

Previously the works focussed on the skin, the way this membrane interacts with the environment, it's the thin layer that keeps us from dissolving in the world. The house can be regarded as a 'second' artificial 'skin', with more or less the same function, though more determined by society. Next step is the city, and the way every part of our lives takes place on artificial islands we created both physical and mental.

The starting point is that in order to comprehend our world we need to cut it up into consumable pieces; though we think big we think about small areas. It's about not getting lost. Where once cities were islands in nature it is now the other way round, and I believe these evolutions have great impact on how we approach our world, how we feel we can tame and resize it. Architecture is used as a body, which is designed, placed and built, comparing the result of architecture with that of the skin.

The awareness of the body in the environment has moved towards the awareness of the environment around the body; how both continually have influence on each other and thus shape each other. The dehumanization in order to get perfection of the body.

The work questions the manufacturability of our environment and ourselves, and the way these ideas have influence on everyday life. For instance the commercial culture that determines so much of what we see and how we live; it also provides a lot of the materials out of which the work is constructed.

It's interesting how we adapt our use of language, of appearance, to different architectural surroundings.

This is what a city does, the difference between looking at a map and walking the streets; on different hours they have different faces, talk in different tongues and demand different actions.

Architecture, in its basic meaning, speaks of the contrast between in- and outside.

The focus in my work lies on interaction in general. And interaction is for a big part perception.
