The starting point for my work is the body and space, whether intimate or architectural. Movement and volume of the human body is my source of reference and research. I am interested in spaces we occupy and the personal space of an individual, as well as ideas of micro- and macrocosms. Mapping time and attempting to make its patterns visible is also an important concept within my work. Making as a process, creating objects that gradually grow and change is central to my practise. I hope that the playfulness that the working process can give me is accessible also in the end result.

This work demonstrates Shape as an element of design in that the person captured in moments in time is recognizable in contrast to the background as a positive shape.
It demonstrates Repetition as a principle of design in that the same subject is repeated on the fabric over and over again.
==
We chose this work because it sums up our journey through the distortion of time. You've come full circle. You're completely disconnected to a single moment in time, you both have and have not made the correct decision and you're damned to walk through it again - second guess yourself, looking backwards at your actions and movements in the past. Forever analyzing how you got to this point, being totally disconnected in time.
