I work with sculpture, performance, video and installation. My practice explores time, value, interdependence and labour from a feminist perspective, often through the lens of maintenance work. In recent years, I have focused on soap as a material, developing a material-sensitive method where the agency of the material directs the work. Soap embodies fragility, transformation and care: it constantly shift states in dialogue with its surroundings.

Based in Oslo and Gothenburg.
