Nature and architecture are recurring motifs in my photographic work. The connection between the earthly and the heavenly, the extent of creation and the extent of time. Old trees that have stood in cities for generations and witnessed history. Nature as infinity. The beauty both in cultivated field landscapes and the untamed perfect order of chaos in forests and undergrowth. Like the landscape painters of Romanticism, I see nature as mysterious and wild, but it is neither sunset nor dramatic sky I get lost in, but rather a plowed field in march with pale grey sky. 

My works on architecture are images of ourselves in the world as we create homes and align with those around us that tell our history, geography, and cultural affiliations. With touches of homeliness and practical measures that shape our home and the urge to belong in the world. 

Based in Copenhagen, Denmark, I have lived in Italy, India and America, travelled the world and eventually  been unexpectedly and increasingly fascinated by landscapes closer to home, the off seasons, the cold and the less colorfull.
