Bio: “Don’t think you are anything”
(Danish: “Du skal ikke tro du er noget”)
Aksel Sandemose: “A Fugitive Crosses His Tracks,”1933

My works are Influenced by my upbringing in Denmark and the country’s unwritten “Jante Law”, identified by the Danish/ Norwegian writer Aksel Sandemose, which refuses to acknowledge individual effort and places all emphasis on the collective.
In my sculptures and installations I interrogate the social structure of lost individualism.
My materials are carefully chosen for their relevance to uniformity. Using repetitious work methods like hand stitching, or cutting, I create patterns of units expressing void and displacement. I carefully arrange white material, against a white wall, making my pieces blend in instead of standing out, articulating homogeny and representing the blank individuality within the collective mass, eliminating the singular.
