Ulvhälls hällar Sculpture Park, Strängnäs, Sweden, Working with the textile waxed outdoor sculpture "Jus Sanguinis" 2023
MFA in the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm.1993-1998. Lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden
Since the years at the art school I have worked with smaller objects and spatial installations, but also still movies and photography. In recent years my sculptures have grown bigger and I have produced them for outdoor environments in a couple of exhibitions. In the past year, I have taken up performance again, after a long break of over 30 years. Memories, inherited memories, as I call them, are also something that interests me. It is about inherited traumas or knowledge from generations back. In this way, I want to find multiple layers of meaning.
I am interested in dark stories, psychology and human actions in historical contexts.
