Another interest of mine, was finding fossils by the sea with my father. We often did, and when a new piece was found he would explain what kind of animal it had once been.
I was fascinated by these objects as they kept a door open to lost cultures and time.
These works are my artificial fossils representing the danish culture in which I grow up, plants and animals that are extinct in my lifetime.
