Before I got involved with
visual arts, I was working as a
musician. Through the
years, my musical preferences have varied
from experimental noise to
contemporary classical music. I chose
to leave the music world in
the mid 90s since I thought the music
environment was too
controlled and by that it sort prevented my
artistic creativity.
Most of my previous visual works have been
on child issues and
the process of growing up,
interests that quite recently have taken
other turns, for instance,
to nostalgia, scale displacements and
sound art, to name but a
few...
My current work is mainly focussed on
memory/amnesia, color,
scale and sound
distortions. The bottom line of my work is how
audio and/or visual matters
affect human emotions. My recent audio
work is mostly worked out
as conceptual audio CDs and/or a part
of installations. I have my
own one-man-sound-art-project called,
RHALE - a sound project
that examines rhythms and sounds beyond
traditional church music.
Besides my sound work, I am also working
with photography
and video. I am especially
interested in monumental images and to
enhance color saturation
when working with transparency films and
Ilfochrome prints. I am
also experimenting with various forms of
casting techniques.
Apart from communicating with people, I am
very interested in
affecting any viewer’s
emotions with my art. I hope my artistic
choices and interests pique
both the ears and eyes of listeners
and viewers.
