Master of Fine Arts in Arts and Crafts with specialization in Iron & Steel / Public Space

Alive 2010

Abstract
I have made three objects, for use in public, on the street or on stage. To develope them I have combined two different disciplines, sculptural metalwork and the art of performance. This method has also helpt me find my own artistic expression. I wanted to investigate how the liknesses and differences of these artforms could make my process complex and fruitful. It is all about the action, the physical work, in the workshop or in public space, using my body as the tool to discover intresting stuations combining everyday life, improvisation and special made object.
I have used the public space as a place for performing as a laboratory for the investigation of human behavior and communication. In doing this I discovered a story about life.
