In my practice I start from a given situation that I approach with an ecological and social pespective. I try to get an understanding of my surroundings and through interventions and gatherings I debate, diffract, or steer attention of the participants/viewers.  By organising projects outside of the wall of the art institutions, I integrate my work within a broader context, and thus view my work as belonging to an ecology. I work with found-materials, wooden constructions, text and sound.
