ABOUT ME

http://www.heinerud.org
http://www.denerin.org

We are 2 friendly people from Sweden. Henrik is a composer and Gertrud is a Jewellery artist with her own studio in Göteborg. We've been together for 8 years. We're vegetarians and enjoy good food, wines and company. We currently study both German and Chinese. We are currently living in Gothenburg with our rather small dog Beibei.

PHILOSOPHY

Henrik: What I want to do is to understand. I want to have a dialogue with different people to find out, to share how they are thinking: to participate. I feel that human thought tends to get over-focused and limit everybody to his own little area. It is important to be able to communicate and have a dialogue, to listen to each and everybody. Listening, and sharing these views, then perhaps we can go beyond them.
