Statement
The Artificial KingdomMy work is about reliving memories of my childhood. An escape to a child’s naive dream- world, where they playfully discover the world around them and the beauty of nature. A skeleton is a carrier of past memories and a device for recreating them. Wearing and play- ing my marionette animal-skeletons will trigger childhood memories and evoke the naive playful child in you. Just like time adds layers to nature and memories, my animal-skele- tons are in a process of transformation, creating a new image.
