Introduction

My work evolves around magnificent natural phenomena,
as well as human conceptions and misconceptions of nature.
Utilizing scientific methods such as simulations, collections, classification-
and representation-systems, I thereby generate a new type of natural history;
one that is based on actual, existing occurrences, but that defines
the term nature as a primarily cultural construct.

The work is multidisciplinary; varying between a wide spectrum of media
among which are installation, photography, sculpture, bookmaking, audio
and animation. It therefore can be best described as conceptual,
with a strong outlook to the visual or tangible.
