Biography: 

When people ask what I do, I usually answer that I work with text and installation. They wonder if I'm any good at drawing or painting, but I do not remember if I am, so I say that perhaps I forgot how to do it. To the left on the floor besides me, lays the sentence "strekk ut beinet og legg sagbladet mot den øverste delen av leggen” *

I work with poetry, but I'm also interested in the poetics within a material or object. This may be the possibility it has to change, or the subtle value that exists before I start to work with it.

I am interested in;
a) people in relation to objects
b) close relations between people regardless of objects
c) to use relationships to objects, so that objects become associated with each other

Right now I move between found objects and text-based installations. I sometimes work with the texts as a narrative for the objects, or I turn and work with the objects as a starting point for the texts.
