About The Artwork

The ongoing Strange Attractor series are the result of research into the industrial revolution, geometry, mathematical theory and questions around identity and underlying, systematic structures. The steel shards in Strange Attractor X are discards from artwork production, donated by other artists. By-products of a manufacturing process, the steel shards are the result of the same, mechanised action and yet they are all uniquely different; they are the result of the circumstances of a specific moment in time. This repeated action with a continually new outcome says so much about time, choice and ultimately our place in this world; every moment in time is unique, based on what came before, minute changes, encounters and emotional states. All colours are determined by the process and occur naturally through heat and friction. A form of colour wheel, the colours are caused by thin-film interference and only really show up in natural light, which also means that the colours change throughout the day and depending on light.

Originally from Copenhagen, Denmark, I am currently based in London. Continually moving between sculptural forms, printmaking and drawing, my practice explores ways of breaking, dissecting, uncovering and redefining objects and patterns. Driven by curiosity, I have a strong interest in the intersection between art and science, particularly looking at the edges, the places where discourse and disciplines overlap. Many of my projects are developed through collaborations and dialogues with other professions and institutions such as physicists from CERN, Geneva; chemists, engineers and mathematicians from University of Edinburgh, archaeologists from Museum of London Archaeology and Soil Scientists from Cranfield University. Recent works look at the legacy of enlightenment and industrialisation and how entrenched patterns of thinking shape social value systems. Utilising the inherent magic and poetry in the unseen systems that underpin our world, I explore the edge between chaos and order, looking for patterns of how things interrelate culturally, geologically, politically and geographically. My work examines the overlooked and undervalued; domesticity, the idea of waste or inferior materials and how materials and objects are shaped by their historical, cultural and political context.
