NILS HINT: ARTIST’S STATEMENT
I work with iron. It is my medium for expressing things that are hard for me to say or imagine without the presence of the physical material. Often the work, the process, is technically very complex as well as limiting. It is my hope this makes me think twice about what I have to say with my work, and to help me to be more focused. After this clumsy attempt to understand who I am, I still have to say that it is quite irrelevant for me to define my practice. I prefer not to load my pieces with too many words. I work with movement, movement in space and time, and my ever-evolving relationship to this never-ending motion.
