Artist statement
As kids we used to run around in the mountains and play. There were no trails or roads, just bare moss covered mountain and the occasional shrub and bush. Here no time existed, and no adult ruled. Our movements were a conversation between the landscape providing expansion, challenges and limitations for our little feet to respond to.
I think I am searching for the same direct experience with manmade objects now as a sculptor. I see volume, texture, lightness and mass. I see relations, contradictions, tensions and possibilities. Objects invite me to explore with them and create entities in the landscape of a room. At times I add performers to engage within these installations as well.
Half Inuit, half Scandinavian I grew up in Greenland. However, I left as a teen to explore the world, and eventually settled in London, where I now live with my two kids and partner. I studied at Aarhus Kunstakademie (2008), Chelsea College of Art and Design (2013), and Royal College of Art (2018). But mostly learned from the real world I'd say, whatever that 'real world' may be.
