Off to London!
Statens Værksteder For Kunst/ The Danish Art Workshops in Copenhagen is where I am located right now. I won the Award "Time to Design - new Talent Award" which is a prize really worth winning: included is a place to live for three months, a studio (at the Danish art workshops), money to buy Materials for and an exhibition at the Normann Copenhagen Flagship in Copenhagen store after the three months. In other words: the best price possible for a newcomer! I enjoy Copenhagen and even more I enjoy the possibility to work in such a professional and stimulating environment!
