I min seneste udforskning af tekstilernes verden har jeg kastet mig ud i udviklingen af helt nye stofværker. Jeg har bevidst valgt at arbejde med en enkelt farvesætning. Tanken bag disse værker er at skabe en visuel symfoni, hvor farverne spiller sammen og skaber en følelse af sammenhæng.

Mine motiver er close ups fra naturen, hvor jeg har fokuseret på detaljer, der måske ofte overses. Disse nærbilleder fanger naturens skønhed på en unik måde og giver et nyt perspektiv på det omkringliggende miljø. Jeg ønskede at skabe noget abstrakt, men samtidig genkendeligt, så beskueren kan lade sin fantasi flyve, samtidig med at de kan identificere elementer fra naturen. Der er så meget forskning der ligger bag at naturen er healende så det var et vigtigt element for mig at inkorporere.

For at binde hele kompositionen sammen har jeg valgt at indramme hvert værk med et rundt passepartout. Den runde form tilføjer en særlig dynamik og fokuserer opmærksomheden på motivet i midten. Det skaber også en vis enhed mellem værkerne, som om de er en del af en sammenhængende fortælling.

Jeg håber, at disse stofværker formår at formidle en følelse af æstetik, forundring og fordybelse – en invitation til at se verden gennem et nyt filter af farver, teksturer og formsprog.

In my recent exploration of the world of textiles, I have immersed myself in the development of entirely new fabric artworks. I have intentionally chosen to work with a monochromatic color palette. The idea behind these pieces is to create a visual symphony where colors harmonize and evoke a sense of cohesion.

My subjects are close-ups from nature, where I have focused on details that are often overlooked. These close-ups capture the beauty of nature in a unique way, providing a fresh perspective on the surrounding environment. I aimed to create something abstract yet recognizable, allowing viewers to let their imaginations soar while identifying elements from nature. There is substantial research indicating the healing properties of nature, so it was important for me to incorporate this element.

To tie the entire composition together, I have opted to frame each piece with a circular mat. The round form adds a particular dynamism and directs attention to the central motif. It also fosters a sense of unity among the works, as if they are part of a cohesive narrative. I hope these fabric artworks manage to convey a sense of aesthetics, wonder, and contemplation – an invitation to see the world through a new filter of colors, textures, and forms.

Jeg var særligt opmærksom på at bruge kunstneriske elementer, der gik ud over det visuelle. Jeg ønskede at skabe en følelsesmæssig forbindelse mellem beskuerne og værket, hvor de kunne læse mellem linjerne og opleve en dybere mening. Derfor valgte jeg at inkorporere transparente lag og detaljer, der tillod beskuerne at se både de overordnede sammenhænge og de mere skjulte nuancer i kunstværket.

Et centralt element i min udsmykning var kirkevinduerne, hvor jeg blev inspireret af den magiske stemning, der opstår, når lyset skinner igennem. Jeg anvendte transparent folie med kunstværket på vinduerne og skabte derved en unik oplevelse, der afhang af vejret og lysets spil. Beskuerne blev inviteret til at opleve en ændring i stemning og atmosfære, når de betrådte rummet og blev omgivet af kunstværket.

Desuden ønskede jeg at skabe en særlig oplevelse i slusen ved DSB-indgangen. Ved at dække vinduerne fra gulv til loft med kunstværket, skabte jeg en helt indhyllet atmosfære. Beskuerne blev draget af farverne og blev måske fristet til at gå igennem slusen eller blot fordybe sig i studiet af vinduerne. Denne oplevelse gav dem mulighed for at tage en smule hverdagsmagi med sig på deres videre færd gennem centret.

Det var vigtigt for mig at skabe et kunstværk, der ikke kun var æstetisk tiltalende, men også budskabsmæssigt positivt. Jeg inkluderede inspirerende og opmuntrende ord og sætninger, der skulle fremkalde smil og sprede glæde blandt beskuerne. Naturen blev også brugt som en metafor for forbindelser og vækst mellem mennesker. Jeg ønskede at minde folk om vigtigheden af at pleje og dyrke relationer ligesom en have, der skal vandes og plejes for at blomstre.

I was particularly mindful of using artistic elements that went beyond the visual aspect. I wanted to create an emotional connection between the viewers and the artwork, where they could read between the lines and experience a deeper meaning. Therefore, I chose to incorporate transparent layers and details that allowed the viewers to see both the overall connections and the more subtle nuances in the artwork.

A central element in my decoration was the stained-glass windows, where I was inspired by the magical atmosphere that arises when light shines through. I used transparent foil with the artwork on the windows, creating a unique experience that depended on the weather and the play of light. The viewers were invited to experience a change in mood and atmosphere when entering the space and being surrounded by the artwork.

Furthermore, I wanted to create a special experience in the passageway at the DSB entrance. By covering the windows from floor to ceiling with the artwork, I created a completely enveloping atmosphere. The viewers were drawn to the colors and perhaps tempted to walk through the passageway or simply immerse themselves in the study of the windows. This experience allowed them to carry a bit of everyday magic with them on their journey through the center.

It was important for me to create an artwork that was not only aesthetically appealing but also conveyed a positive message. I included inspiring and uplifting words and phrases intended to evoke smiles and spread joy among the viewers. Nature was also used as a metaphor for connections and growth between people. I wanted to remind people of the importance of nurturing and cultivating relationships, much like a garden that needs to be watered and cared for in order to bloom.

My latest artwork for Bruuns Gallery was an inspiring and energizing decoration that marked an anniversary event. I aimed to create an experience that would evoke joy, positivity, and a sense of unity among the viewers. By combining a vibrant color palette, nature motifs, and uplifting messages, I succeeded in crafting an artwork that filled the space with life and dynamism.

With this artwork, I provided the viewers with an opportunity to perceive the center in a different way. I encouraged them to explore, interpret, and create their own unique experience. It was important for me to create a space for personal immersion.

Med dette artwork ønsker jeg at fortolke virksomhedens kerneværdier og visualisere dem i et kunstværk, der inviterer tilskueren til at gøre mere end blot at se. Kunstværket er legende af natur. Det inkorporerer interaktive elementer såsom forskellige overflader, farver og materialer alle lagt oven på hinanden.

Placeringen af ​​kunstværkerne er også vigtig, da de er placeret i en gange, der fører ind til det nye kantineområde. Et rum hvor alle mødes dagligt, hvilket betyder, at alle i bygningen passerer kunstværket.

Artwork made from acoustic panels – Length 8 meters. One of the main design approaches was offering a contrast to the grid look which runs through the company. I have chosen to use circular and organic shapes ,which softens the area. The circle is a universal symbol with extensive meaning. It represents the notions of totality, wholeness, original perfection. Another of the key elements was using transparency to play with the depth.

In this piece we want to interpret the core values of the company and visualize them in an artwork that invites the spectator to do more than just spectate. The artwork is playful in nature. It incorporates interactive elements such as different surfaces, colours, and materials all layered on top of one another.

The location of the artworks is also important, as it’s placed in the hallways leading into the new cantina area. A room where everyone comes together daily, meaning that everyone in the building will pass by the artwork.

Jeg skabte et grafisk kunstnerisk udtryk til mere end 30 akustiske paneler, der spænder over hele kontoret og udviklede et samlet og konsistent udseende gennem bygningen, mens jeg gjorde akustikken bedre.

I samarbejde med Team Blue-repræsentanter valgte jeg et farveskema at arbejde med og skabte flere store “Masters” som kerner for udtrykket, der kunne tjene som base for forskellige sektioner på kontoret. Vi valgte at opdele de forskellige kerne udtryk i flere sammenhængende paneler for at illustrere, hvordan de forskellige dele af virksomheden arbejder sammen for at danne en helhed.

Team.blue (previous Zitcom) is a leading digital enabler who primarily focuses on European hosting solutions. With 23 offices across Europe and 1000+ employees, maintaining company culture and brand identity becomes increasingly important for the group.

I created more than 30 acoustic panels spanning the entire office and developed a unified and consistent look and feel throughout the building while making the acoustics better.

In collaboration with Team Blue representatives I chose a color scheme to work with and created several large “Masters” that would serve as the base for different sections of the office. We chose to divide the masters into multiple connected panels to illustrate how the different parts of the business work together to form a whole.

Husets arkitektur og indretning. Det nordiske afspejler sig derfor meget bankens nye indretninger, hvor farveskalaen i interiørerne helt konkret er inspireret af farverne i P.S. Krøyers blå aftenbilleder fra Skagen Strand.

Motivmæssigt ønskede de at udsmykningerne gerne måtte sætte tanker i gang, skabe liv og glæde eller give et sjovt / anderledes ”tvist” til omgivelserne / interiørerne.

Det var vigtigt at artworket kunne appellere bredt til en stor gruppe af forskellige mennesker.

De havde set nogle 3D collage værker lavet på laserskåret træ,  jeg tidligere havde lavet. Med disse i mente ønskede de at få udviklet et hjørne værk. Det skulle spille sammen med en stort ”Brand/ kerne” billede der var essentielt for dem. Så farveskalaen skulle tilpasses så de to meget forskellige ting harmonerede. 

Jeg har valgt at arbejde med forskellige slags billeder. Både udsnit af natur, mennesker, tekstur samt arkitektur. Der er en blanding af abstrakte og svært afkodelige billeder som referencer til de ønsker og drømmer deres kunder har og derfor kommer for at få hjælp til at realisere via et lån. Nogle er mere enkle at afkode, så som et close up af et hjulkapsel ( ny bil ) , marmor ( evt. nyt køkken eller badeværelse.) Det kan også være drømmen og en ny have eller en rejse, eller drømmen om at skabe en tryg base for familien, der hentydes til.

Fælles for alle de udvalgte billeder der er brugt er at visualisere deres kerneværdier på en sublim måde.  Derved giver man hver enkelt beskuer lov til selv at vælge deres fokus og hvad netop det billede betyder for dem. Jo mere tingene bliver skåret ud i pap jo mindre frihed beskuerne får. Dette er et værk skabt for dem der skal se det hver dag eller ved hvert bank møde, og ønsket er at de ser noget nyt hver gang og derved får en følelse af den agilitet som banken også tilbyder. Vi flytter os i sammenspil med hinanden.

A strong Nordic bank. Danske Bank is a Nordic bank with strong local roots and close links to the rest of the world. For more than 145 years, they have helped people and businesses in the Nordic region fulfill their ambitions. I helped them decorate their new headquarters in Aarhus. The Nordic feel is very much a reflection of the bank’s new interior design, where the color scheme of the interiors is in fact inspired by the colors of P.S. Krøyer’s blue evening pictures from Skagen Strand.

It was important that the artwork could appeal widely to a large group of different people.They had seen some 3D collage works made on laser cut wood I had previously done. With these in mind, they wanted to develop a corner art piece. It should play along with a big “Brand / core” image that was essential to them. So the color scheme had to be adjusted so that the two very different things harmonized.

I have chosen to work with different kinds of images. Both images of nature, people, texture and architecture. There is a mix of abstract and hard-to-decode images that reference the wishes and dreams their customers have and therefore come to get help with realizing through a loan. Some are simpler to decode, such as a close up of a wheel capsule (new car), marble (possibly new kitchen or bathroom.) It can also be the dream and a new garden or a journey, or the dream of creating a safe base for the family to be referred to.Common to all the selected images, is to visualize Danske Banks core values in a sublime way.

This more abstract approach allows each viewer to choose their own focus and what exactly that image means to them. The more things are spelled out, the less freedom the viewers get. This is a work created for those who need to see it every day or at every bank meeting, and the wish is that they see something new every time and thereby get a sense of the agility that the bank also offers. We move in interaction with each other.

De ønskede et håndlavet look, så jeg lavede collagen i hånden, fik den af fotograferet og derefter bredte de den ud på deres forskellige platforme. Det væsentlige ved denne collage var at blande forskellige teksturer for at vise en bredde, netop som de forskellige musikkere der spiller til disse koncerter har vidt forskellige genre. Jeg har valgt at fokus punkt ikke er et specifikt sted men nærmere at collagen fungere som helhed som en dynamisk baggrund.

I made a collage artwork for Red Bull Music. It is to be used in connection with their Stripped Sessions which are a series of intimate concerts. The first one is with Silas Bjerregaard – Freja Kirk and Artifact Collective and it will take place at the National Museum.

They wanted a handmade look, so I made the collage by hand, got it photographed and then they spread it out on their various platforms. The essence of this collage was to mix different textures to show a variety, just as the different musicians playing for these concerts have vastly different genres. I have chosen that focus point is´nt a specific place but rather that collage as a whole acts as a dynamic background.
