Artist Statement
“Night moves” is the title for the four collages that include “Unlonely Loneliness”, “Night gifts”, “Night Circus” as well as “Treasure Hunt”.

Dreaming is a process where the conscious mind meets unconsciousness and where fear, love, hopes and memories rejoin and are relived. After awakening the question will always be: So where do we go from here and what have our night moves taught us?
With a little smile in the corner of my eye, I have tried to characterize various dream scenarios by incorporating a variety of paper, packaging material, receipts, yarn or ribbons.
