My objects are made of steel which I weld or forge and finish with copper strike and soot. The green patin is created by processing with different acids. 

I am inspired by the landscapes of Iceland, slowakia and Poland. Dilapidated buildings, lonely houses, huts and trees.

I’m  looking for monumentality, small works become big, taking up space. The hard lines and the clear shape of the steel contribute to this.
