Lives and works in Copenhagen
There was always someone around me and I needed a room of my own. So I started a collection of coloured circles. I cut them out from the
supplements of Saturday and Sunday papers. I looked through the pages and found patches of monochrome colour – big enough to make one of my circles. Each supplement gave me a small heap of circles. Sometimes just six circles, sometimes as many as 42. The small heaps are named after the date of the supplement. Having finished a supplement, I lay out the coloured circles on the table and enjoy the meeting of random colours.
