Woodcutting:

The works are based on asian woodcutting techniques. The colours are merged into the background in the same way as in watercolour paintings. Pressure and opacity create subtle shapes. The different use of colour, composition and technique creates multiple results using the same woodblock. The fascinating aspect of woodcutting is that the three stages of the process are individual adventures: The idea and conception of the picture with a draft, the “cutting” of the woodblock and the actual printing process using either a press or hand printing techniques. The organic material wood uses its structure, grain and texture to capture and create different moods and emotions printed on the paper.

Sculpting:

The broken, cut or milled mamor, alabaster and granit or piece of wood provides the shape, that is modelled in the sculpturing process. This natural character of the stone or piece of wood is the origin of the work.
