A mask you can show to the public and/or hide behind. The hidden identity behind the mask.
Since my early childhood I have walked along the stone filled shores of Denmark hunting for fossils. Subconsciously the eye learns to recognize lines, colors, patterns, shapes and shadows in the ever-changing surface of the beach. Searching for fossils and finding the most incredible stories depicted in a stone is not far apart. A stone has many diverse expressions and is my source of inspiration. It can be twisted and turned in any direction - it is multi-dimensional. I turn the pictures in these stones
into watercolors, that in turn serves as the basis for my tapestries.
