The studio is open Saturday 26 April from 12-17
I work exploratory, often starting out from some small detail that have caught my interest. My chosen subject matter is explored with an open mind, as I collect material, map and calculate, write and draw. The aim is that the end result is both be visually and intellectually rewarding.
My drawings are related to infographics in general and maps in particular – and to generative art and games. I often work serially, fascinated with the relationship between repetition and variety.
Additionally, I make photo based drawing, which serve as part of narratives. These projects have been made for artist’s books or montage films.
