From the series ”off grid” 2020 (ongoing). These photographic works depict parts made from ”object trouves” which are deconstructed and reassembled. Sometimes interlaced with other objects (shells, figurines, mirrors etc.), or overpainted with pigment or drawn on to further the distance to their original function and allow a new “second life” as a photographic sculpture to emerge.
