Borrowing something from someone without their consent, accidentally breaking the thing and trying to repair it so they won’t notice

Medium; sculpture, wood, pigment

The body of work consists of abstracted sculptures, graphic work and distorted archetypal interior objects, they speak to each other without requiring to be uniform, different expressions of a similar intention. In the work and my artistic identity I balance different aesthetics and actively avoid to pin-point or categorize. Respectfully bringing something out of a context into my own, whilst creating a form language based on different interests and disregarding prevailing notions of function, medium or field. Combining digital, organic, physical, 2d, 3d, computer generated, mimicked and handmade in the same process. Creating without conforming to a binary categorization of technique. ‘Glitch’

The common thread in the technique of ‘glitch’ or dissociation, is
to steadily wind into a method that is based on multiple, steps,
a chain reaction of distortions; starting from an intuitive impulse,
directed by non-conforming desires, circuitously resulting in
abstractions of reality and new connotations to material, function
and established norms. Glitch can be a disruption in the static-ness
that is created by the aim for perfection in society. Inviting to
engage in a vulnerable un-comfortability where there is an
opportunity for reanalysing prevailing norms. A re-evaluation of
trivial matters through confusion, re-arranging meaning and playing
with prevailing associations.
