Artist Statement

My work is primarily about the images that hide in the back of our minds, nightmares and visions of a fantasy world. The aim through my life as a photographer is to create pictures that can not be “touched” to invent visions that connect with people on a emotional level but also ask the viewer to draw from there own memory’s. The idea of fabricating a picture to communicate a alternative “reality” is my main drive in the process of making pictures. Isolation, fear but also the idea of hope are the catalysts in my work and from them the pictures are developed into “unreal” reality’s.
