Abstract
Description
Kaolin Gallery exhibition text: I want to be different things on different occasions, and sometimes everything at the same time. The border between the fact and the aim gives room for something else. I want to see both what it is and what it depicts.
Sometimes the imitation can do. Sometimes it is the whole point, because the real thing wouldn’t work. First and foremost it is potent and provocative, because it is everything at the same time and yet none of it.
This is a story about the imitated as much of the imitation. I point to mountains and the sea, on the things I call home. I think of how I see it and of other people’s view on it, and how their view becomes a part of how they view me. I think of how these pictures goes together, and how they don´t. I think of how I sometimes try to make them match, for my sake and for others, and why I do so. I re-write and beautify, just as everyone else. Somewhere on the way it becomes unclear, but also unnecessary what things are. There are layers of love, irony, humour and anxiety. Everything at the same time.
