I was born and raised on a small island on the north-western coast of Norway and this has to a large extent influenced my work. As a seasoned traveller I have observed many different cultures. Much of my artistic work is an attempt at expressing the connection between the islands micro-history and the worlds macro-history.
I was educated as a tapestry weaver. However, for about twenty years I have mostly been making free standing sculptures in different fiber, as well as non-fiber materials. I do enjoy the fact that I can creatively act as I please, use whatever material I wish, be severe and meditative one day and playful the next.
