Knots without end is part of a series of four knots. They all consist of long pieces of weathered synthetic material with a former industrial function.
The knots are tied so they appear without a start and end point. The knots are tied as so-called ‘granny knot’ or knots that occur by random entanglement. The knots can thus be seen as an illustration of an absolute physical connection or union, or as a picture of difficult-to-solve problems.

The signal columns are originally mooring poles. They have been found, after a fierce autumn storm, on the shores of a dam reservoir. The columns have almost been penetrated by naval shipworms, in a fascinating pattern of holes. The columns are dried out and sanded with a sanding fan.
Each column has its own signature by indentation, piercing or with a smooth surface. All the columns have been burned with the Japanese shou sugi ban technique. Interventions that give each pillar its own signal identity with references to communication forms of primitive cultures. Each pillar stands on a plinth thus standing slightly floating on the floor surface.

The bones were found in the Thames during ebb tide. The bones are probably ancient slaughter waste, from both households and butchers in London, where the Thames served as the dustbin of the time. The bone pieces has been rubbed against the stones on the riverbed of the Thames for years and have thus got soft shapes.
The bones are oiled and composed in new sculptural formations connected by steel rods. The sculptures are inspired by molecular structures as fragmented parts of an animal's organism and as figurative illustrations of a constant connection between everything.

The podium contains an excerpt of collected natural and industrial objects that are processed and weathered by sun, wind and water. The objects are an expression of the organic beauty that is everywhere in the natural environment around us. The podium appears as one inspiration archive.
The objects of the podium contain a tale of a past life. The objects are characterized by not having a predefined function, and they can thus be seen as a contrast to common newly produced consumables. The podium collection is an expression of nature as superb designer.

The aluminium piece was found while diving at Helsingborg’s industrial port. The aluminium piece appears as a purely sculptural expression. The piece has been beaten against the sandy bottom and the stone pier, where from the random expression and shape has arisen. The fine porous and sharp edges of the pieces are an expression of the violence and the constant processing that nature can provide. The aluminium pieces are cleaned with a high pressure washer and treated with oxalic acid.
