jeg landede i bangkok i et virvar af mennesker, handelsboder og trafik og tumlede rundt i en blanding af massiv varme, bilos og et lydniveau på max. og jeg ku’ li’ det. alt var fremmedartet og meget anderledes og der skete noget med mig undervejs - noget godt - jeg mistede kontrollen, lod mig omfavne og faldt hen i en tilstand af observerende stilhed og tilstedeværelse. jeg zoomede ind på æstetik, former og materialer. jeg stillede skarpt på byrum, hverdag og underligt bagvendt også på mig selv.tilbage i københavn tog jeg udgangspunkt i denne overflod af nye indtryk, og arbejdede med tanken om et puslespil, hvor brikkerne passede men ikke på den rigtige måde. jeg fortsatte med at kombinere detaljer og fragmenter og prioriterede at værkerne antog en intern formmæssig logik og at man samtidig kunne ane en underliggende forvirring.
i arrived in bangkok and it was - wild and wow - i really enjoyed it. everything was very appealing and so very different - the aesthetics, all the materials and new forms. for me as a detail orientated person, i felt like i was in heaven. there was a lot of contrasts and clashes in colors, patterns and surfaces. and so many things and people. the hurly-burly in the streets. action everywhere. I slowed down, felt clam and went very quiet – just enjoying walking around. zooming in on the asian cityscape, the daily life of it’s people and in a strangely reversed way my own responding and reactions.back in copenhagen i started out with this overload of impressions. I had the idea of a broken puzzle, the pieces could fit together, but not exactly in the right way. i continued to work with combining fragments and details aiming for an underlying disoriented feeling in my works.
