“By taking away all the information and starting from scratch using the white A4 paper sheet for my creations, I feel I have found a material that we are all able to relate to, and at the same
time the A4 paper sheet is neutral and open to fill with different meaning. The thin white paper gives the paper sculptures a frailty that underlines the tragic and romantic theme of my works. The
paper cut sculptures explore the probable and magical transformation of the flat sheet of paper into figures that expand into the space surrounding them. The negative and absent 2 dimensional space
left by the cut, points out the contrast to the 3 dimensional reality it creates, even though the figures still stick to their origin without the possibility of escaping. In that sense there is also
an aspect of something tragic in many of the cuts.”
