The surfaces of my sculptures are like a skin, weathered and worn. They open up for a visceral encounter.

A sculptor's drawing is like an object on a paper. The pencil lines are visceral like skin, resembling the surfaces of a carving.

"I am fascinated by confronting you with things that seem familiar, but resist definition. In the encounter you confirm a relationship." vip

"For me a Shadow is a threedimensional thing, a presence confirming our being on the earth. In this sculptural environment you engage with the thing as a confrontational other!" vip

These creatures reflect on  human conditions, showing us our desires and fears. 

"I always say that I like you to see with your knees, look with your elbows and feel with your eyes."  vip
