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 among others, 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 recent work I interrogate the social structure of lost individualism. I create sculpture as metaphor for the tension between the singular and the whole. My materials are carefully chosen for their relevance to uniformity. Using repetitious work methods like hand stitching, cutting and collaging, I create patterns of units expressing void and displacement. I carefully re-arrange found dress shirts and men's business suits, making my sculptures articulate homogeny and representing the silence and lack of individuality within the collective mass, eliminating the singular.
