About
Year of birth: 1982
Place of birth: Finspång, Sweden
Based in: Gothenburg, Sweden
I create animal sculptures using discarded materials, clay and metal wire. Through constant experimentation I have developed a distinct style that fuses industry with nature, metal with clay, fantasy with reality.

Sculpture, mixedmedia
I tie and weave scrap metal together with wire to form a skeletal structure, which I then build upon with clay to create my sculptures.
