What I do

I work in various media, using techniques such as painting, drawing, sculpture and text. I often use different techniques together in a kind of fragmented storytelling where I investigate different ways of experiencing reality. My work often uses poetic measures in order to investigate the complex dynamics of seeing and being seen.

I have shown my work in both solo and group exhibitions in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Germany. I was contributing editor of the digital quarterly magazine Måg between the years 2011-2013. In 2014 I was awarded NTNU Artist of 2014-2015.
