as art photographer
The landscape is apparent in my work, sometimes natural sometimes manipulated with evident traces of people. I rarely plan pictures, but let my visual sense decide where there is an image.
I work primarily with medium format analogue film cameras. The process is slow and focused, and I find a stillness and concentration in the moment. I also like polaroid, and will sometimes work with digital pocket camera if I find that is the best in the situation.
The slow process of sewing has brought something new, and I've made my first handmade artist book for 'sister chromatids'.
Going slow is also what attracted me to the intaglio proces of photogravure. And like working with anything analogue, there is only so much you can control in the proces. I surrender to the proces and hold my breath when I lift the paper from the plate.
Photogravure intaglio prints from the mono no aware series have been exhibited at Kirsten Kjærs Museum.
hjemstavn
'Hjemstavn' [Revisited] is an exploration of the place I was born. It is a joint project with 'Grupperingen Hjemstavn' in which we revisit our respective places of birth individually and together
MAX A5
I’m co-founder of MAX A5, an annual one-day art exhibition that ran for six years from 2011-2016.
my blog
Blog named after my favourite film: Portra 400 NC; which sadly no longer is produced. Occasional work in progress and other stuff
I have two intertwining careers where I express my skills in different ways, as a photographer and as a professionel in the field of scientific publications respectively. Throughout my life one has typically had more focus over the other in periods, but both are very present and essential for my expression, and I always utilise all skills in whatever I’m doing.
My works are in the collection of CBS library, and I have exhibited across Denmark.
I am a member of Nørrebro Grafiske Værksted and the artist group Formålsløse Undersøgelser.
