"The french philosopher Simone Weil argues that vulnerability is the sign of existence. This is something that has touched me deeply and inspired me as an artist from the beginning. I find that this belief connects with glass, both as a material and as a medium of certain possibilities. Brittleness and vulnerability, combined with light as a source of inspiration, are for me about the search for what is central in the human condition, the ultimate ground for what I try to do.
Glass is brittle. Its brittle qualities are expressive, in my work, of the brittle qualities of life itself, its existential vulnerabilities. You find it in the ecosystems of nature as well as the vulnerability and sometimes painful experience of beeing human that are issues I work with and they inform the questions I try to ask.

Glass is for me a way of exploring limits and finding ways of transcending them -limits of techniques and limits of my own.

During the three decades I´ve been working with glass my works have become increasingly fragile I think my interest in projects about the relationship of man, culture and nature has played a big part in that development. I use several different techniques such as hotcasting, kilnforming and kilncasting and blowing. My works may be seen as primarily sculptural.

In my work I find inspiration among those whose expressive needs take the direct form of creative joy and desire, a creative urgency I have met mainly in folk art and craft.

My natural surroundings have often served as a space of projection for my inner dialogues. Light and brittleness of being have found a place here. My studio is situated close to a lake.The view outside my window is a neverending story, as th water communicates with the sun and the wind nature finds the moment when everything is ready for a change. Water becomes ice, which lasts for several months. January is clear, the air is transparent, and it´s a good time to work with glass.

Artistic longings and a longing for such knowledge as is to be found in other fields such as ecophilosophy and history drive my work and invest it with a sense of fulfillment and completion.

I think that light is the deepest aspect of beauty. Beauty never tells me anything about what I shall create or do in life, but in the moment of it´s touch, I know that I´m not alone.

The circle - often in the form of mandalas and cylinders - is something I´ve been comming back to regularly in my work.

To work is to communicate in time and space, and glass is the very best meium for crystalizing what I want to communicate.

Large-scale works fascinate me and I also like to communicate with - and then communicate about - different places and the rooms in which I make my installations. Light is important but now I also work with the shadows that appear in companion with light.

Artmaking is meditation a joyful state of consciousness in which the nonrational, intuitive qualities of imagination join together with the subconscious. A bridge forms between our inner life and vision and our outer expression. To see children at play is fascinating and inspiring and has it´s roots in the same place.
