Statement:
A vibrating line in empty space is capable of filling a room far more than its singular presence would seem to allow. As I construct my sculptures, I seek to let space penetrate them.
I had studied sculpture at the Royal Danish Art Academy and at first I was not interested in working with paper. But the possibility of breaking the law of gravity with light, airy works tempted me. So I joined a course in paper sculpture at the Pacific Basin School of Textile Art in Berkeley in 1983. I have been working with plant paper ever since, experimenting with expressions in paper in connection with sticks and other finds from nature.
I keep a large collection of natural materials for use in my work and I have tested most of the plants for papers in my garden. I have discovered the best seaweed comes from the fjord by my summerhouse. Some of the plants I treat in the old arte povera concept, forcing them to grow in another direction in order to fit in the shape of a future sculpture.
