Welcome

Working with the flaws

Stoneware relief from 2021 with John. 1v5: ‘and the darkness has not overcome’ and by Simon Grotrian, Ravnekost og slagere, 2017: I exist, and you search / lead. //
Jeg findes, og du leder.

The chance involved in the ceramic process is very dear to me. Cracks and flaws are divine interventions and I welcome them to play a central role to the final ceramic output.

 

I work with Nordic (Nordjysk) Iconography – an artistic category which I’ve invented. I combine biblical as well as intuitive motifs with tiny, strong text bits from the Bible and from the oeuvre of hymn writer Simon Grotrian (1961-2019). In 2022 I’ve started contemplating to use English text. The brilliance of Simon Grotrian however is in the ambiguity which requires a lot from the translator.

 

Continuously exploring Nordic (Nordjysk) Kintsugi, the art of repairing, uniting, with gold.

Christo i Berits hænder
Christo is created for the hospital priest of Silkeborg. To be held and to stand.Graphic design by Berit Stubkjær and supporting text by Ingrid Mejer Jensen (my translation):

One to reach,
one whose hand to hold,
bringing light
along
the deepest of darkness
and on the ways out -
you and I
all days
until the end of the world.

Hænder i Væggerskilde
I work with church art - so far I've made communion sets and a baptismal bowl. Currently I work with 'Thorax' and enjoy an inspiring collaboration with a jewellery artist. I also do academic projects in this field.
