“I create images which I myself find trippy. This means images I can slip into and slip out of. Images where material concreteness and illusion are present in equal measures. Where the clearness of the actual image production – its material tangibility – makes you slip out of the image illusion while that illusion is also the first thing you see. And so on, you can switch your gaze between illusion and production. As a form of meditation. Or a massage for the imagination.”

“Jeg laver billeder, jeg selv kan trippe på. Det vil sige billeder, jeg kan falde ind og ud af. Billeder hvor materiel konkrethed og illusion er lige meget til stede. Hvor tydeligheden i billedets frembringelse – dets materielle konkrethed – får en til at falde ud af billedets illusion, samtidig med at illusionen er det første, man ser. Og så fremdeles kan man skifte blikket mellem illusion og produktion. Som en form for meditation. Eller en forestillingsevnens massage.”
