Inspiration
My inspiration comes from human interaction between people and with nature. The way we deal with decisions, the possibilities we go for and those we choose to leave, is a constant source of inspiration, together with the joy and struggle in communication between people.
Living abroad also made me more interested in the Norwegian culture and social system and I found strong links to how literature, specifically Henrik Ibsen’s work, has made an impact on Norway’s democratic development. I therefore decided to use his life and plays as inspiration for a series of work.
I work with all kinds of materials and have a surrealistic style, and trying to look at the world with a humorous glance. As shown in "Tell me another story" , exibited in Paleet shoppingsenter at Karl Johansgate in Norway
