I feel close to the material and the craft. In my case, paper. I print on paper, I shape paper and I make paper. There are stories behind everything I do, but my story can be experienced by others as a completely different story. I create a story, and give opportunities to the viewer to fantasize further, “streaming of consciousness”.

In my studio
In my studio I will show how I make paper from pulp from used and discarded paper. I will show you how I cut up paper, soak the paper and make a pulp. Then I put the pulp and water in a tub and with a frame with netting I get a thin layer of pulp which I put on a piece of cloth to dry.On the sheets I print with lithography or woodcuts.
Planned projects and exhibitions
I am planning an exhibition at Galleri Sagene Kunstsmie August 17 -September 7 with the title “Art on paper, paper as art”.
An exhibition in collaboration with Gret Marstein.
