In my mental landscapes, a metaphysical reflection can be said to be a common denominator.
I start from the idea that primary information about us is stored in the unconscious mind. It communicates with us in its own coded language, which the conscious tries to decode.
I read mythological stories (fabels/science fiction) as a method of trying to establish a communication with the unconscious. As the brain is known to be our first archive, I begin by drawing memories of literary texts. It inspires me to automatic drawing and free association. I try to combine experiences from literature with visual art, without going in the direction of illustration, but to find expressions for constellations in the borderland between unconscious and conscious. Gradually, own experiences are blended into the process and the work becomes more representative.
