History, collective memory, and humanity’s relationship with nature are recurring themes in her artistic practice. Her works combine research objects, scientific equipment, along with archival material and images of landscapes. She has exhibited works both in Norway and abroad, and her artworks are part of various collections, including institutions such as the University of Oslo’s Art Collection, the Office of Public Works in Ireland and Preus Museum.
