I work intuitively with my wood relief painting, letting the material and the techniques influence my progress towards the finished piece. My materials are organic from nature like wood, marble, bronze and textile. All these materials reflects our existence, growth and life. The interaction between myself and the material is important to me. My physical effort carving into the wood creates a direct connection between the material and myself. It feels like my nerve fibres become part of the woodwork when I carve with this intuitive approach.
