Artist Statement:
I try to create 'open' images. Pictures that leave room for the viewers interpretation. My images are abstracted, simplified, and selected views. I observe my surroundings and have to act immediately. Now is the past. Through my influence the outcome gets a life on its own, something different from reality, an elevation of physical fact.
