A line is made of many little dots but the speed of looking at immediatly build up a shape of line.

The line gives me a great fascination, it is not the line which has a begining or an eind, or a line which is connecting between  two points, or lines which are forming a shape or causing a shadow, it is about the space inbetween the lines.  Actually the visible lines gives us a glimpse of that transparent space.

I work primarily on a processed white, almost monochromatic surface, on a linen or cotton canvas. Not focusing on one point, but on several subtle, thin layers of drawn lines. (acrylic and watercolor) I call it the subtle layering of perception. Multiple subtle layers of perception on top of each other with light color elements not only form the starting point for the line(s) drawn with graphite/pencil, but they also form an intense perception of space. The material in itself and the manipulation of the canvas present a new challenge each time.

Simplicity and clarity are found in an extensive and lengthy painting process: The line grows out of this complex process in a contemplative atmosphere. Perhaps is the process of painting as complex as the effort of the viewer to open up to the contemplative content.

I consider my work as to be a reflection for this time with its rapidly changing images. My work call for slowing down.
