Member of the Norwegian Artists organisation (NBK), has recieved several grants (currently; BKV 1 year working grant).
I am an conceptual-based artist who work with different types of media. Mainly mixed media installations (video, drawing, object).
I work with materials such as; wood, metal and found objects. The last years I've also taken use of analouge electronics, especially in connection with interactive light installations.
In addition to my art practice I also work as a freelance co-ordinator/producer for temporary art-shows, and as an consultant for Art in common space Norway (KORO).
I want to build physical and abstract spaces that create and trigger emotional, and visual experiences.
Through my work I aim to express and materialize invisible connections and meetingpoints.
I study and get inspired by complex systems that, at a first glance, will pass as simple. Such as; beauty, gratitude, a human beeing, an army, the universe.
My work is process-related, deals with human relations and can visually be related to science and construction.
