Art Reveal Magazine 43

Briefly describe the work you do.

I work with photography and my images are mostly a kind of collage
consisting of maybe 10-50 images. It expresses a certain thought or feeling.

What themes do you pursue?

In general I use whatever come across my mind, my daily thought’s and
challenges. I don’t think there is a thought I wouldn’t pursue. It’s only fun
if there is an underline in an image that provokes the viewer a bit, or con-
tains a twist of sarcasme.

What is the most challenging part about being an artist?

I don’t see it as a challenge to be an artist. For me it is an opportunity to
play, to crawll into a small cave where everything is possible. So for me it’s
more an escape from a world that is challenging, than challenging being
an artist. To create is for me a place where you can keep on exploring and
playing, and always keep searching for new ways to express and develop
techniques and through this, to reach new levels. Total freedom and no
rules.

How would you describe the art scene in your area?

The art scene in Copenhagen has a lot of new upcoming artists, but it is
still held down a bit. A small big city, sometimes afraid of new things and
sometimes way behind the rest of the world.

What art do you most identify with?

Most of my inspiration comes from talking with, thinking about and watch-
ing other people live, I don’t really spend a lot of time watching other
artists. If I would have to identify myself with another artist area, I would
have to look into the music industry. A lot of my images comes from this.
Music is a big part of my working process, great musicians as Bowie, Kim
Larsen (danish folk singer) Stacey kent. Etc.

What’s the best art tip you’ve ever received?

Always listen to the “Boss” (the little man who lives in your stomach who
always know what’s right. If you dare to listen to him)

What are your future plans as an artist?

To keep developing myself as an artist. Think even bigger, dream wider, fly
higher…
