Address: ORP 2, Olaf Ryes plass 2, 0552 Oslo
Floor: 2
Room number: 228
The studio is open Saturday 27 April from 12-17
I work with drawing, collage and installation. Clippings from printed matter such as books and newspapers are often the material I work from. The works are often about my own archive in the face of other archives. The dwelling on the clippings, drawing, retouching and collage is both a philosophical starting point and a technical one.

In my studio
The room is an ever-changing archive.
There are stacks of books, binders of clippings, works started, walls of notes and sketches.
The room is an extension of the hand and thought.
