My first meeting to create sculptures was when I signed up to a stone course at stonecutter Mr. Emil B. Mikkelsen in Thy, Denmark in the late 1990s.
I clearly remember the wonderful experience it was to create something visually in another material that was completely unfamiliar in my universe.
The education as a blacksmith has been attached to my ancestors for generations, and I have a 4-year basic education as blacksmiths and machinist.
Two years later, I graduated as Mechanical Engineer to the construction as a specialty, and it has been my professional occupation on the labor market.
In the early 2010s I went early retirement benefits and now had a passion to conquer the iron molecules which I in my young days had worked with.
After several visits to Louisiana where my favorite sculptor Alberto Giacometti are exhibited, I got an idea ‘to create my own artful “iron ladies”.
I signed up to an iron sculpture course at visual artist Frank Fenriz Jensen, Denmark which planted the seeds of it today I produce in my workshop
