I work with painting and my motives often revolve around everyday things and family life. For me, to paint is to notice things that I don’t otherwise see. Examples of themes I have worked on in recent years are the home (the wallpaper as a motif), breastfeeding, the forest that is too far away, having children and miscarriage, “democratization” of the painting by letting others decide my motives as well as scrolling endlessly on my mobile, to name a few.
