In depth - On the surface 2023
The Creative Process’s Relationship to Time and Value

In Depth – On the Surface is an installation created for the exhibition Rum Til Ro at Riise’s Landsted in 2023. The work explores the significance of space as both a physical environment and a mental state, examining how the creative process interacts with time and value through a working method that stretches from fleeting moments to endless hours.

The organic forms and ethereal lightness evoke both the depths of the sea and the shifting cloud formations of the sky, reinforcing the work’s meditation on time and value. In Depth – On the Surface unfolds as a poetic exploration of what lies concealed within layers of material and meaning—an invitation to perceive time not merely as a linear measure but as a substance that shapes both process and perception.
