My artistry revolves around stages of decay, becoming and movements towards life
or death. I navigate parts of art history, ecology and metaphysics through knowledge I have acquired over many years as an ornithologist and insect collector. At the same time, I have a past as a professional breakdancer and a genuine interest in urban subculture.
 
In my work, I draw inspiration from a simultaneous presence in these two camps. I try to create my own kind of mythology where fragments of nature and civilization form a third fused alternative where the present, origin and potential future are linked.
 
I look for phenomena and occurrences in nature that take on a universal and poetic dimension when these are conveyed through a certain material or artistic technique. The narrative element that often appears in my work stems partly from the self-experienced – childhood memories, nature studies, field notes – and partly from mythology, folk beliefs, and the forms of representation and imagery associated with both legends and the recording of history. I was born in 1969 in Uppsala, and live and work in Stockholm and Enköping.
