I work as a visual artist, exploring bodily and emotional connections to the outside world through sculptural and performative works. My practice seeks to understand what it means to be alive as well as forms of communication beyond verbal language. I received my education from the Academy of Fine Art in Oslo (NO) and Trondheim. Notable exhibitions include Meta.Morf – Biennale for Art & Technology, The Arctic Arts Festival, Oppland Art Center, The North Norwegian Art Centre, Art Museum of North Trøndelag, RAM Gallery, Atelier Nord; with upcoming shows at Palass, Kristiansund Kunsthall, and Vestfold Art Centre in 2024.
