About my workDoing nothing is the base idea of my practise as an artist. It's what I judge my work against, and, if I do it right, how I stop judging my work. It allowes me to stop and look again. To not want more but notice that what is there.As an artist you tend to always want more and improve and can get caught up in that, instead of getting caught up in the work itself.
The idea of 'doing nothing' allows me to find a calmness and a sense of peace. Doing nothing means letting things happen instead of making things happen. In 'letting things happen' I find freedom, experiment and unexpectedness.You can see this calmness in my work, where I take care of my ideas and present them in the way I make them.
