Information about the artist / the group

I am an artist and craftsman and currently work mainly sculpting and carving sword-like objects in fresh wood. For me, the design language of melee weapons is very fascinating - not least the unimaginable width and variety of appearance seen across all cultures and historical eras - and I'm interested in exploring how much you can change the shape of a given object before it becomes interpreted as something other.

Program during Konstrundan

Come visit me in my studio and workshop in eastern Mariehamn! I am happy to talk about my working methods, choice of materials, sources of inspiration and the thoughts behind finished and half-finished works. The program will be fairly fluid and adapted to the needs and wishes of individual visitors.
