Hanne's broken hand
Part of series of four photographs

  

I draw in all media.

My paintings, wire sculptures, collages, manipulated digital prints, etc., are all essentially drawings that I use in my installations.

I often use animals as symbols of nature and partake of the cycle of life and death by using recycled materials whenever possible.

My Wolfman, which you just saw gliding through the introduction, is part man, part animal, a composite figure intended to remind us all of our frequently forgotten connection to the natural world.

With modern technology in danger of going too far, I feel there is a great risk of becoming too slick. Even in my digital drawings I try to show the distinctive touch of a human hand, often by juxtaposing or superimposing my Wolfman mark on my work.

All my art is rooted in ecology and is about nature, health and life versus artificiality, disease and destruction.

I strive for a sane and healthy world.
